Bottle: Clear golden pour with a modest white head. Bubbly. Smells grassey, floral, herbal, and light malty sweetness. Taste is predominately malty with light florals and grass. Crisp finish.

12oz bottle. Yellow-orange color, nice creamy head. Mild, mellow malt aroma, some creamy caramel. An interesting beer. The honey really smooths it out, but it isn’t really that pronounced. Very mild and balanced, with a nice noble hop crispness coming through. A little grainy perhaps, but still a pretty good beer overall.

12 oz. bottle. 100th rating for this beer. Golden brass color. Pours gives it a thick head, with a bit of fluffy foam. German beer smell, but with a bit of age to it. Malty, toasty beer taste, finish is to the cleaner lager side. The touch of honey becomes more pronounced toward the bottom of the bottle, but does not become overly sweet. Instead, it’s well balanced by a noble hop profile.

Bottle. Pours a clear gold with short-lived white head. Aromas are kind of blah... A bit of honey, some bread dough and a little light fruit. Flavor is similarly uninspiring, with a pretty substantial bread and honey malt presence and a little bit of grass and pear in the finish.

Hazy light orange-brown body, thin off-white head. Aroma is a bit cardboardy with white grape, esters, and breads. Light, bready body, with musty light fruits (pear?) and hints of cardboard. Grassy hops. I’m not a big fan.

Pour is a bright gold with a average white head. Aroma is a decent enough amount of malts with some zest in there. Flavor is dry malts with a touch of lemon and hops. No real honey but im fine with that. An ok beer and would make a nice session summer brew.

I only found this slightly better than the average pale yellow american beer. However, I was very happy with my variety case from Schell; pale ale, octoberfest, pilsner, double boch, caramel boch, firebrick, maifest, doppelbock, zommerfest, etc. Wow what a variety…..loved it.

Lightly sweet malt, and the honey does very little at all. Very light aroma and flavor, which is typical of a kolsch. Some very light citrus. Dark yellow, and an impressive white head.
