Golden yellow with moderate white head and moderate effervescence. Lemon, biscuit malt, and grass aroma. Mildly sweet floral lemon/orange, biscuit malt, and mildly bitter grass flavor. Okay body.

Pour is a clear golden with a huge white head. Aroma is a creamy and bready malt. Flavor is more smooth creamy pale malt with a mild finish. Doesn't break any new ground, this is a simple kolsch

16oz can. A lot better than the 12oz version I had in 2020. OK malt tone, pleasant hop balance. Fully enjoyable for the style. OK overall.

Can with a picture of a dude on it. Clear pale yellow. Taste is quite refreshing with a tad of bite, not bad initially. Taste is a little bitter, like many kolsch but it is refreshing and almost enjoyable. Quite ok in my book. Decent and like-able. Finish is just a tad too bitter for me, almost like an old country pils.

Sampled from the tap at GTMW 2019. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a lots of straw and grains with a touch of sweetness and hay underlying. Flavor has notes of hay and straw with a growing sweetness supporting.
