Draught at the brewery since debut, most recently 7/2/16.
Clear, flaxen-gold with a thin white head atop showing moderate to moderately low retention.
Grains and light cereals in the nose also allow a strong minerality as well as very light, delicate, herbal/peppery hops. Dabs of light honey dot the nose as well and there is no flaw or alcohol.
Moderate, tight carbonation spurs on a lightly grainy texture (pleasantly so) with notes of honey, baguette and hoppy herbs. Fruitiness is pretty minimal but still there. Very dry and crisp on the finish. Very solid kolsch. Very traditional and very drinkable.
