Bottle: Pours bright golden and perfectly translucent. Huge white head. Light nose of grass and malts is sweet, but not overly malty like some of the light session beers. Flavor is clean, crisp, and typical to style. Grass, grain, and malty sweet. Good balance. Refreshing.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a yellow color with a medium sized foamy-soapy white head that faded quickly and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was sweetish artificial grape and a bit of vegetal malts. The flavor was tangy and a bit tart with a bit of vegetal malts and faint citrus and grape. Short finish that turns a bit dry. Light body. Not good.

Bottle pours light golden color with a thin white head. Nothing but pale grains and crackers. Did not enjoy this one very much. Eh.

Bottle as shown. Pours a pale yellow gold with large frothy white head that lasts awhile leaving sticky lacing. The aroma is citrus and pine. Thin mouthfeel with sweet malt and honey flavor. A decent kolsch.

33 cl bottle @ home. Rated on 19.06.2010
Aroma has grainy malt, some fruity notes and toffee. Flavour has grainy malt, some caramel, toffee and fruits. Quite fruity and not the Kölsch I’ve used to had.

Dość dobre piwo jak na kolońskie piwo i nawet trochę mętne co jest przy tym gatunku niespotykane. Trafiłem raz na mętnego kolscha, było to Thornbridge i było sporo lepsze. Nie mniej fajnie się degustowało i spora piana była

From a bottle served at home.
Pours a hazy pale gold with a thin white head. Slightly fruity nose. More carbonation in the mouth than expected given the thin head. Some lemon zest in the mild, balanced flavor. Good refreshing beer for a summer day.

Surprized I never had dis. Bottle is more than a year old? 7/6/11? From a bottle pours like a hefe w/o head. Nice clean aroma. Does not really have an old beer attitude. Nice co2 on the palate. Goes down rather easy. Some medicine in the background but otherwise hides its alky well. refreshing at times. Better than expected. Not quite as good as roy pitz, gaffell and mission kolsch.

[Bottle from Beers of Eurpoe that Jim shared with me - cheers!] Pale gold, moderate white head and fizz. Lots of lemon, a little biscuit, crisp mouthfeel with a little bitterness in the finish. Unfortunate metallic hints. OK summer refresher, but unchallenging and forgettable.
