Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy very pale yellow color with a large foamy yellow-white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was sweetish, tart and tangy citric acid. The flavor was dry, tart and bitter citric acid and lemon zest. Dry tart and bitter citric finish. Medium body. Blah.

On tap at bocktown, nice place. Was very friendly from the start. Big foamy head. Nice clean beery fresh smell. Not flat on the palate but pretty close. Goes down oh so nicely. Very easy, acceptable and friendly. Yes, except for a veryt slight bitter thing on the finsh, this is a very good experience, thanks penn.

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a fluffy white head and absolutely pungent aromas of skunky hops. Way over the top in the nose and also in the flavor. They die down a little as the beer airs and warms, but the first couple of sips made me think the thing was going to be all the skunk from a whole case of Beck’s distilled into one 12 ounce serving. Even after they die down a bit, they are still too abrasive for the style in my opinion. There are the basic components of a decent kolsch hiding underneath, but they get buried by the hops.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. A nice sweet nose of perfume hops and mostly earthy grains. The flavor is a crisp light brew with some light floral hops, very smooth and not too sweet. Nice.
