0.5 l bottle courtesy of Doggythedog, thanks for sharing! It poured golden body with medium-smaller head. Nothing special in aroma, some undefined industrial hops. Bitter flavor, also somewhat sugar sweet with quite thin body. Bitterish, short and unimpressive finish. I had only one beer of the style before and that was much better, this is just a bit different than fine pale lagers. Not too fruity and without any estery characters, it is not so typical for the style.

0.5l can brought from Germany by a friend (thanks Alen!), shared with heavy. Poured a golden body with a relatively big fluffy white head that went away at a medium pace. Quite dusty hoppy nose. Sweet candyish-fruity but a little soapy maltiness with some light dusty hoppiness. One can hardly tell it apart from a (relatively good) pale lager. A very simple Kölsch.

Canned(500ml). -from gas station nead Köln.
Pale golden coloured, medium sized white head, low carbonation. Slight malty, hoppy and faint fruity taste with flowery mild hoppy finish. Pleasant and refreshing but Küppers is better.

12 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a light pale golden color with a medium head. Average head retention and lacing. Aroma is grass, corn and faint sawdust. Taste is grassy hops with sweet malts and creamed corn. Medium bodied. Refreshing.
My previous rating was from an old bottle from a decrepit "tavern" in Charlottesville. That score was 5/4/5/3/9/2.6. Those numbers do not factor into the updated score.

Appearance:Pale yellow/golden. Short fizz, then absolutely no head. Aroma: Bit of hops and fruit. Not much. Taste: Mix of malt, fruit and hops. Nice, bitter-ish aftertaste. Bit boring, though. Info: 500ml bottle, 14/11-2006, 109/500

Bottle. Both flavor and aroma are mild, but that is a strength in this nicely crafted, drinkable beer. Small white head. Medium yellow, clear body. The aroma is malty with grain and straw and hoppy with grass and flowers. The flavor is lightly to moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Fair thin body with a water texture and lively carbonation. Balanced finish between sweet and bitter, though both are fairly light. Enjoyable.

Pours clear light golden color with big white head. Aroma is lightly hoppy and grassy. Flavor is slighyl sweet and fruity with a metallic after taste. Not much complexity, kind of boring. Light body, very thin mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation.
