Draught at the brewpub on July 14, 2013. As part of a tasting paddle.Stated to have 22 IBU.Clear straw yellow to pale golden color, white head. Sweet, herbal, hoppy taste. Herbal hoppy aftertaste. Well hopped for a traditional Kölsch, but works well for my taste. Medium to fizzy mouthfeel, medium bitterness. Some faint hints of butterscotch in the taste too, not disturbing the balance though. Sweet, malty, grainy scent, also hints of butterscotch. Leaves a nice lacing on the glass.

Bottle. Clear copper with a white head. Grassy aroma with caramel, pears and some light tropical fruits. Oily, moderate carbonation. Rather sweet with lots of caramel, some peach and lychee, pepper. Moderate bitterness that struggles to break clear at the finish. A bit dull and really needed a drier finish for me.

330ml bottle. Pours an orangey amber colour, foamy off-white head and aroma of malt caramel, mango, pineapple, orange hop resin. Taste is malt caramel, tropical fruits, grapefruit citrus & woody pine resin bitterness with a biscuity note. Light bodied, medium carbonation, dry bitter finish. Quite OK.

This beer has a lovely chocolatey aroma with some tobacco and ash. There’s quite a bit of hops in the taste along with the chocolate. Unfortunately the palate’s a little water and a bit short. It’s the sniffing is where this beer excels, and slurping off that thick off-white head’s pretty good too.

(bottle) Hazy golden yellow with little head. Interesting, pleasant aroma with banana, esters, citrus and peppery spice. Light body and rather fizzy with coarse bubbles. Sweet banana and citrus start; some peppery spice develops and the finish is clean and citrusy. Overall refreshing, clean and very drinkable but there’s nothing outstanding.
