Description
The Columbus Brewing Company was originally founded in 1830. In 1988, the name was once again chosen to resurrect the proud brewing heritage of its namesake.

Our Brewmaster brings years of experience to the brewery including an apprenticeship with a German-trained Brewmaster, completed the Master Brewers progam at U.C. Davis, and brewing at several breweries throughout North America.

We are dedicated to exploring the flavors of American hops, subtleties of German-style lagers, the intensity of barrel-aged beers & everything in between.

Received as part of my Santa package. Pours hazy amber with a small off-white head and leaves nice lacing. Aroma is not strong, but pleasant with notes of grapefruit, pine, tropical fruits. Flavor is about the same, vaquely passionfruity. Little sweetness, light bitterness. Mouthfeel is somewhat watery, but otherwise a nice offering.

12oz bottle. Better than I expected straight up off the bat, well hopped, nice grapefruit cascade feel. Unfiltered orange-brown, greyed..murky. Thin, steady off-white head. Earthy and full bodied, pretty rich for a beer of 5.3%. Soapy and astringent after awhile, would really benefit from filtration...too heavy and yeasty to really session. Certainly a decent offering.

On draught at the Cousin Eddie release party at Bob’s Bar. The beer is a hazy dark amber-orange color with a medium off-white head that diminishes steadily to a film. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops, citrus and malt. Medium to full body with a resiny hops character and notes of malt and fruit. The finish is moderately bitter with a lingering piney hops aftertaste. Good beer all around.

On cask at the Cousin Eddie release party at Bob’s Bar. Pours dark brownish black with a thin and foamy khaki head that evaporates steadily. Small patches of lacing. Aroma of roasted malt and vanilla. Medium-bodied with a creamy character and flavors of vanilla coffee, malt and chocolate. The finish is sweet with a vanilla finish. Pretty good overall.

12oz bottle scooped up in Columbus. Unfiltered orange-amber. Thin head, fades to an oily brim. Rather pleasant herbal tinged malty aroma, touch of cinnamon, amber malt. Kind of an odd one, very fruitcake. The ginger is certainly there, not bitter, but fruity. Not really one to recommend, but a decent enough beer.

Sample at the Columbus Microbrew Festival on 09/16/2012: This beer pours a mostly clear bright golden color with a medium thin and fizzy white head that dissipates steadily to an outer ring. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of grassy hops, wheat and malt. Light, crisp body with a mildly bitter herbal hops character with touches of sweet malt and fruit in the background. The finish is lightly bitter with a lingering hops aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Very nice pour frommah bottle; lots of sediment on the bottom of this bottle. Rocky head tho not creamy. Ever so slight light aroma of old cigarette. Good co2 from the start but it fades after a while. First taste does shed some light on this style, which I forgot since the last. Somewhat odd in flavor, but I must say it is on style fer sure. A simple easier keller which I could live with.

Flavor is moderate cat pee over floral and moderately roast malt. It is frickin delicious ale. Finishes smooth, bitter and tasty.

Very drinkable. Slightly bitter; nice malt balance; solid taste from sip through after taste. This went down quickly. I’ll have another, please!
