Draught at the brewery, 9/15/17.
Clear, pencil yellow-to-blonde body topped by a thin white head.
Soft honey and breadcrust stems from the malt as floral hops come across gentle, as well. Some cereal and mineral character on the finish is pleasant and there is no flaw or alcohol.
Quite malty with a (too?) soft texture and a bit more residual sweetness than usual. Still, grainy malts and peppery hops help alleviate and the carbonation, while not super tight, is at least ample/brisk enough to keep it tending crisp. Vanilla, dough, honey and pepoer/floral notes linger on the finish properly.

From tap as Kearsarge Kolsch. Pours clear and golden tellow with a small white head. Aroma is toasted and slight grainy. Grassy and dry grainy finish.

16 oz can from Bert’s labeled Kearsarge Kolsch Brilliantly clear deep yellow color with a smallish quickly dissipating tightly bubbled white head. Big fruity nose, I pick up apricots and peaches and a sweet bready pilsner malt underneath with a hint of caramelized malt sugar. Bready crackery toasty maltiness in the flavor with a fair bit of fruitiness. I really enjoyed drinking this beer, its quite tasty.

Pours hazy gold into a shaker. White head with little retention recedes to skim surface. Soft with mild caramel turning to mildly bitter earth in the medium length finish.
