Dorada, tirando a ambar, de muy abundante espuma. Aroma ligeramente frutal y lupulado. En boca es muy refrescante y bebible. Ligera, de base malteada y frutal, con contrapunto lupulado cítrico.

From Jun 2007


Purchased at Poplar Wine & Spirits in Casper

This pours from 12oz bottle(best by 09082007) a clear light gold with a very large billowy head of foam that finally settles down after a few minutes to a fine broken layer with good lacing.

The smell is pretty nice. I'm getting notes of spice and a good mix of malt and bitter hops.

The taste has some biscuit malt up front and some grassy hop bitterness about midway through. The finish ends on a bitter and then slightly sour note. Interesting. It's pretty flavourful(I'm drinking it at room temp) but I don't think I could call this a session brew for me despite it's low abv. One bottle and I'm done with it for now.

Bottom line: Interesting example of the style and is worth a try.

On tap at Portland Brewing, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out crisp crackery malt, not much else really. Flavour is along the same lines, with cereal malts and crackery malt. Light sweetness in there. Pleasant but not interesting. It's fine.

Draft. Pours golden with thin white head. A lot of corn and some bread on the aroma and flavor. Overall a plain beer that I will call, .. okay.

Reviewed from notes.
This kolsch was poured into a pint glass more than enough times, but the night I had this for reviewing purposes, it was poured into a stange. However, the only difference I’ve ever noticed was the head lasted longer in the stange.
The appearance was a nice light golden colored yellow with a one finger white foamy head in both glasses. The lacing is about the same in both.
The smell had a light crackery graininess with some light spices in an herbal yet earthy sort of way.
The taste was a light sweet crackeriness and a nice light refreshing sort of spice indicating this would go well with the recent weather I’ve been having in Southeast Alaska. There was no aftertaste but left a decent dry finish.
On the palate, it sat fairly light and displayed a decent sessionable quality running about my mouth and tongue with a light carbonation about it.
Overall, I say this is a wonderful kolsch-styled beer by an American brewer well worthy of having again.

12oz bottle pours with a deep dirty golden body with a slight haze and supporting a thin bright white head. The aroma offers up malt sweetened lime and lemon as well as a bit of earthy notes and grainy malts. The taste begins with slim sweetened lemon and lime notes and then running into sugar sweet malts. The hops get to a modest degree of bitterness toward midway but overall the flavor stays just too sweet for the style and it lacks freshness and crispness. Decent though. It would be cool to try this very fresh and from the tap and taste how it stacks up to the better to style brews.

Whole Foods, Bowery 35.5cl ($2): Pours gold. Smells like a blonde ale. Tastes like a beer that would be really commendable if it were the flagship beer of a third world country. Otherwise, this is just something that you can down in a couple of sips and be less unpleasant than a PBR.

Bottle. Pours slightly hazy yellow-orange with a very small white head that dissipates rapidly. Aroma is of malt. Taste is also malty, with an unidentified sweet finish. No hops noted in the aroma, taste or aftertaste.
