The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also, very zippy, huge head. Starts fruity-zippy, very fresh, notes of apricot. Finish a bit grasy-sourish, still very fresh. Not bad!

Bottle. Barley malt aroma. Golden yellow color with nice head and lacing. Light sweet barley malt flavor with a hint of hops in the finish. Decent for a NA - slightly reminiscent of a Koelsch.

Bottle from Beer Geek. Pours hazy gold with a three finger fluffy, bubbly white head. Noble hop aromas. Not quite medium body. Carbonation is mild. Flavor is thinnish. A light ale with nobel/grassy/floral/fruity (did I leave something out?) hop. Refreshing. Think it really fits the style.

I have never seen this beer, but now that I live in New York, it is in virtually every bar. Got this beer as a free sample in a Gowanus Yacht Club. Pours a orange/yellow color without much in the way of head. Not very complex aroma or taste, but smooth and slightly sweet. Very easy to drink ten of these if you cared to.

Bouteille 500ml. De couleur jaune-dorée et claire. Nez de grains de malt pâle, léger de maïs sucré et de houblon herbeux (foin et gazon mouillé) avec des notes de pain et des traces de fruits (agrumes). Mince-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et légèrement croustillant ainsi qu’une texture aux notes huileuses et aqueuses. Traces de fruits (citron) accompagné d’un goût de grains de malt pâle lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un léger goût de pain et de petites notes de maïs sucré. Parallèlement, l’on retrouve une légère amertume asséchante de houblon herbeux (foin, notes de gazon mouillé) jusqu’en finale. Post-goût moyen-court et un peu sec, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux avec des petites traces de fruits (zest de citron).

Bottled. Clear deep golden, airy head. Distinct fruity nose hiding vegetables underneath. Sweet and rounded, boldly malty with medium body and light salty bitterness. Quite simple.

Bottled. Clear yellow, rich airy head. Fruity salty nose with some vegetables. Sweetish with very light body. There’s salty hops, some vegetables and mid strength resiny bitterness. Not too shabby for a commercial 2.4% beer.

Bottle: Poured a bright golden color Kolsch with a rather large foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of light diacetyl with some butter and light sweet malt. Taste is also dominated by lightly sweet cereal with some very subtle hosp and some diacetyl is clearly detectable. Body si about average with some good carbonation. Not very interesting or something that I would wish to have more often.
