Kölsch  A deep gold pour with a fizzy fast-dissipating beige head. The initial aroma was skunk weed, once that dissipated you got a mild grainy sweet aroma with perhaps just a tiny hint of diacetyl.  Med-light bodied with a raspy carbonation and a very very dry finish. Perhaps a touch overcarbed. The taste is sweet grains, some cardboard and a herbal earthy light bitterness that in the aftertaste makes me thick a bit of pine needles & crackers. A passable beer, nothing is really off with it but then again nothing excels either.
