Kung Fu Hobo

Perfectly clear golden and lightly coppered body with a sliver of a thin off-white head and hardly any bubbles from the bottom. Aroma of light biscuits, grain, a touch of yeast and some subdued sweetness from corn and even some floral notes. Light-bodied; Strong grassy and honey flavours at first with a nice dose of biscuity malt showing some lighter grain and a touch of flowers, perfume and some very elegant spices at the tail end. Aftertaste shows a very dry, but simple, easy-drinking malt character with the honey, biscuits, grain and herbal flavours the strongest, all with a smooth, but robust complexity, especially on the tail end. Overall, a nice and elegant layered beer, especially since this is a lager, but even as an ale, this would be a smooth, easy-drinking sample, and one with a good profile but even better complexity. Nice to sample, especially on a warm day here in New York! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can purchased from New Beer Distributors in New York, New York on 24-February-2018 for US$3,25 sampled in my hotel room in New York on 25-February-2018.

Tap at stags head. Fine clear pale gold pour. Nose is citrus and biscuits. Tastes of lime, florals, biscuits, hay, and white grape juice. Flavorful punch kolsch

LSAT Freedom Trip #189. Tallboy can from the brewery. Hazy orange, large foamy white head, good retention. Aroma of doughy malt, lime, mild hay and spice. The taste is bready malt, spice, lime. Medium bodied.

Can at home in CT. Pours crystal clear yellow with a fluffy white head. Nice biscuity malts in the nose, some lemon zest, a bit of pepper, straw. Light to medium sweet flavor with more biscuits, light bitter hay, lemon rind, cereal, grass, slight spicy pine. Light bodied with average carbonation. Super clean and dry on the finish, with lean biscuit character, grass, pale grains, straw. Really crisp, clean and drinkable. Nice beer.

16 oz can purchased at 7-11 Kittery, ME. Unclear clear gold with a ton of yeast and sediment floating around in the liquid. Fast vanishing head that left nothing in its wake. Really ugly looking. Aroma is lager yeast and a weak amount of grassy hops.

Lots of bready malt and cereal grain with a slightly elevated hop profile. Mild fruit in the center. Mild level of lasting bitterness after the sip. Yeah, it’s a slightly hoppy kolsch that may get you excited. For me after 6 oz. I was extremely bored.

Draught at Lord Hobo, 9/3/15.
Clear, straw golden with a touch of chill haze and a small white head that slowly recedes to cover. Plentiful carbonation.
Very soft, sweetgrass sort of thing going on in the nose with light minerality, tons of rustic hay-like notes and lots of unripened pear skin. Some biscuit malts, a dollop of honey and very clean, with no alcohol noted.
Heavy on the pear skin flavor, but it’s enjoyable, if a bit unusual. Must be the hop variety used? It’s got appropriate, moderate bitterness, a supple texture with some graininess thrown in, adding crispness/dryness. Everything is well-attenuated and it’s quite dry and neo-kolsch-like. Quite nice stuff and very clean.
