A happy beer, sessionable, makes you want to have glass after glass. Fruity, floral, crisp.

Pretty basic kolsch. Far from being within the style. Meh

On tap at Dovetail, pours a clear blonde with a medium white head. Aroma brings out bright straw, toasted grain, and crackery malt. Flavour is clean and subtle, with straw and toasted grain. Super clean and exactly how a kolsch should be. Very good.

16oz can. Fresh, medium bodied. Pleasant up front bitterness, a little more than typical for style. Really has great depth for the style. Crackery malts, well attenuated. Great balance. Solid stuff, always fun to revisit.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear crisp gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has a good amount of crisp straw and some light grains with just a hint of sweetness. Flavor has the same crisp straw with a bit of sweet grain and light bread supporting.
