On tap at Tom’s, Crewe. Pours a cloudy orange with minimal off-white head. Aroma has oranges and malts, which are well blended. In the mouth it is sweet and fruity, with fairly high carbonation. Flavour is mainly oranges with some malts and traces of citrus and hoppy bitterness. Finish is slightly dry. Nice and refreshing. I don’t have much experience of drinking Kolsch, but this was better than I expected – maybe because it uses English hops ?

Keg tap at Tom's Tap & Brewhouse, Crewe. Deep gold and clear with a spotty white head. Malty nose, with light citrus and a slightly metallic character. Bittersweet taste, some caramel and bittering hop leading to a long balanced finish. Medium carbonation. Okay.
