4oz pour at the brewery before a tour with one of the brewers on 14th August 2025. Clean and clear light golden colour, small white crust on top. Mild bready aroma and taste, some light hop action. Refreshing and clean tasting.

Blond colour, clear. Very weird aroma, chemical (reminds me of synthetic fabric). Dry and barely flavoured, flat vibe, intensively boring.

Some straw, a little lime. Golden pour with ok head. Cloying tangy finish. Not really a great kolsch. Could do with some crispness. Can.

355mL can, pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma is rather skunky and vegetal, with herbal notes and light grass. Flavour is rather vegetal, with herbal notes, a touch of grass, and straw. Dry, straw-like and clean-ish but too vegetal. It's barely drinkable.
