Bottle picked up in Cologne as I wasn’t going to get this on tap. Overall this is pretty herbal and a little grassy, verging on vegetal, but not to any detriment. At the sweeter end of the spectrum although there’s some grassy bitterness. Drinks well. Nice body. Notably this is 5% as opposed to the usual 4.8. Good gear and a nice tick.

From the German grocery shop of Tanta Emmen. A good and simple kölsch, perfect for the palate, malty, fruity, a bit herbal, a bit bit smooth, bready with a final of bitterness, 01.09.21, at my hotel room, Mercure gare de Lyon.

Pours clear, medium colored golden blonde. Medium latge white head, fading fairly fast. Scent is crunchy, fresh malts, bready, whiff of coockies. Fairly silent on the yeast. Taste is surprisingly bitter, crispy maltyness, fullbodied aftertaste, malty (bready). Silent on hoparoma, but prominent bitterness. Very balanced, fresh, and tasty.
