330ml can from lowcostbeer. Hazy pale gold, small white head, moderate retention. Aroma of grainy malts, lemon, flora, some yeast. Taste is grains, tiny creaminess to malts, but a decent citrus running through, slight tangy, mild bitterness. Decent body, light dryness, nice carbonation zing. Enjoyable.

0,33 boks delt med Egil på Hop Burns & Black: lett uklar gylden med fint skum som varer. Lys malt, citrus og urter. Lett, tørr og fin forfriskning i solskinnet etter den lange togreisen fra London Bridge.

From can at Hop Burns & Black, Deptford, London, with JMD 07.08.22. Hazy pale straw colour. White head and lacing. Aroma and taste of pilsner malt, grains and fresh grass. Very quaffable in the sunshine. Slightly sour.

Keg tap at the Sympathetic Ear, Brixton. Mid- to dark gold, clear with a spotty film of off-white head. Peppery notes and bready malt on the nose. Taste is sweet but it's got a slight bitter 'bite' near the long finish. Lemon rind and yeasty rolls in the aftertaste. Heavy carbonation but it really suits the style. An excellent Kölsch in my opinion and criminally underrated thus far.

Can from Village Vintners, Pyrford. Light malty yeasty aroma. Hazy golden amber. Thin foamy white head retreats quickly. Light bitter. Citrusy sour edge. Grainy. Develops a herbal finish. Light bodied. Watery. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. Light weight the most interesting (or least bland?) of the three lagers I've had today. Grew on me.

330ml can from LowCostBeer: BB 23rd Jan 2021. Drank at home on 5th Apr 2021, so out of date when consumed. Poured into an old 0.2 litre Gaffel Kolsch tall glass (twice). Slight haze to the light golden body, white crown on top. Like most beers in this 'style' it's odourless and almost tasteless. This is a bit harsher and drier in the mouth than most, must be the the Thames water rather than the Rhine water that has caused that.
