This Kolsch poured a hazy, medium yellow colour with a creamy, white head. Nice lacing. Scents include cucumber, light grass, malt and cooked veggies. First swig was interesting. Flavours of cucumber, very mild mint, malt and hops. Finish is mildly bitter with that cucumber flavour lingering.

Big fresh cucumber aromas which is great for summer. If there is mint in the nose, it is quite blended, hidden. Clean golden in colour with a nice creamy-frothy warm head, good retention, leaving creamy-foamy lacing. The mouthfeel is refreshing with the cucumber blending a little more, so less potent and the mint is very slight, replacing the hops in the finish. Again, pretty fresh. Shows some unfiltered aspect at last pout. The Kolsch graininess is mildly loss in this, but overall wish the mint was a little stronger to have a good mix between these fresh summer greens.
A golden hazed kolsch with a thin white head. In aroma, weird pickle juice, cucumber, so-so. In mouth, sweet malt, faint mint and cucumber. Can.

On tap at Radical Road, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with fresh cucumber skin upfront with little else. Flavour is very crisp, with tons of cucumber skin upfront, a tiny hint of mint, and some biscuity notes. Crisp and carbonated, with an assertive cucumber character. Okay.

Can from the LCBO. Clear medium gold with a small white cap, fading gradually to a sheet. Nose has cucumber at the fore, with bread, mint and light yeast. Flavour is light sweet malt and cucumber. Mouth is slightly thin with average carbonation. Probably OK after mowing the lawn but not particularly interesting. 7-/3/6/3/12+
