Hazy yellow with a medium white head. Aroma had hay and grassy hops. Flavor had a herbal hop taste with grassy and malty hints. Felt like old hops to be honest. Finished dry and slightly bitter. Good body for 3.5% beer.

On tap at the brewpub. Clear golden body with a white head. Aroma of honey, lemon zest, bread and a bit of grapefruit. Taste of bread, hay, lemon zest and floral hops. The aroma is surprisingly citrusy for a German pils, but the taste is doesn’t show much of this character. I like it.

On tap at the brewpub. Clear golden body with a white head. Aroma of bread, apples and pears. Taste of bread, grains, apples, pears, and floral hops. Fruitier than the average kölsch, but because of that it has more character too. I liked this the most from all the kölsch beers I tasted in Köln.

0.33l bottle. Clear golden body without any head. Both the aroma and the taste are quite weak. Some notes of grains, bread and some apples. Nothing super bad about it, it’s just too weak for me for a maibock.
