Winner of the 2008 GABF Silver Medal and 2009 Gold Metal for German-style Kölsch. Light-bodied with a golden color and a distinctive smoothness making it a very refreshing summertime offering.

This open-fermented, easy-drinking German-style ale is hopped with experimental American hops as a twist on the traditional light-bodied beer. Pleasant citrus and floral notes add complexity without sacrificing supreme drinkability.

On tap. Pours with a clear pale golden hued body with a white head. Aromas are bready and grainy. A nice and refined malt character. Clean ester wise with a low hop presence. Flavors are grainy, bready, clean and low herbal/grassy hop. Very light fruit. A bit low in body with moderately strong carbonation. Crisp. Well executed Kolsch!

Sampled on tap at Elizabeth Station, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma and flavour of dry grains and biscuity malts - nicely balanced and restrained. Nothing spectacular, but solidly brewed.

Draft. A hazy golden beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of minerals, malt, and hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, and lemons, leading to a dry and bitter finish.
