I thought I recall having this in a bottle, but maybe not. Anyways, didn’t get the date, if there was one and had it on 6/30/17.
Clear, straw-golden, fizzy and with a small, poorly-retained, white head.
Grains and lemon comprise the rather weak aroma, yet things are clean, which is always good. Light spongecake and a bit of hard water, with lingering, vague hop-like grassiness.
Grainy and light, with moderate carbonation and a good attenuation. Fairly "hard" mouthfeel with no real maltiness. Not that a kolsch should be malty, per se, but as with most of their beers, this just feels stripped of any real texture and so thin and lifeless, even for a very light golden ale. Light fruitiness and grassiness linger on the short finish. No alcohol or flaw noted, at least.

Best by November 14th.
Pours from 12 ounce can a clear pale gold, plenty of foam, long lasting foam.
Lemon citrus and kinda spicy hops, biscuit malt. Smells like a Kolsch.
Tastes fruity, dominated by lemon, can sense some pomegranate. Malt is biscuit that integrates with the hops pretty darn well.
On the high end of light bodied, suitable carbonation.
This is good!

Draft. Lemon, biscuit malt, and straw aroma. Golden yellow with moderate head. Moderately sweet light citrus, biscuit malt, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Good body. Pleasant.

12 ounce can. Bright yellow gold color. Frothy white head. Nice lacing. Sweet grainy malt nose. Notes of popcorn, lemon and biscuit. Clean, light malty flavor has a hint of lemon zest and grassy hops. Dry , wheat malt finish. Refreshing and very easy drinking.

Tap at Bud. Malty nose, but of citrus and some butter and biscuit. A bit sweet and heavy for the style, malt-focused and not very crisp. Meh.

Creamed corn nose. Clear yellow, medium head, good lace. Barley and hay, lemongrass on the back end. Corn husks. Light body, moderate carbonation. Seems more like a cream ale.
