Draught at Deep Ellum, upon debut, then contract brewed at the now defunct Watch City.
Lightly-to-minimally hazy, blonde-golden with strong maize tints. White head atop is medium-sized, slowly falling to cover.
Fruity and with light-to-moderate mineral and phenol character, adding light white pepper, apple and pear. Cereal and biscuit behind it seems to gently balance while the hops add light notes of herb and lemon that gives it a bright edge on the end. Not terribly kolsch-like, with more malt than that usually has and the belgian yeast contributing more fruitiness and of course the phenols being out-of-place (though they arent heavy). No alcohol or flaw.
Flavor-wise it's pretty well-attenuated, with lemony hop and a fair bit of bubble gum ester. Cereal and biscuit through the middle lead to light pepper, hints of honey-like malt and lingering fruity yeast. Strong carbonation. No alcohol or flaw, but just a bit more white pepper and clove lingering than I'd prefer out of anything, let alone something roughly trying to imitate a kolsch. Still, it's a solid offering and perfectly drinkable.

Pours an amber from a bottle, little head. Aroma is a bit of citrus and banana. Flavor is a light banana and maybe a little spiciness. I feel like this is more of a witbier or hefeweizen, and is really only kölsh-y on the finish. Okay beer.

Draft at Park Cambridge, MA on18 July, 2015. Mostly cloudy gold color with thin head in branded Portico glassware. Aroma is mild floral hops, corn, notes of honey.
The flavor will not give you any surprises, pale malt and grain base giving notes of honey and corn/ grain.
Body is lighter as this lager should be. The one nice character is that the hop profile is slighter lager then what the style guidelines call for. Don’t misunderstand, It is not overly hopped, just enough to make it slightly different then every other in the style. A light lingering floral note to cut the sweetness. I drained the glass easily and could session this with the best in style.
