Light golden kolsch with a creamy white head. A sweet malt with notes of honey in aroma. In mouth, a nicely hopped Kolsch, with some overbearing sweetness, chalky mineral notes, much less dry than other kolsch I tried. However, this was pleasant and quaffable.

12oz bottle-pours a fizzy white head with bright yellow color. Aroma is light malt, light but slight biting hops. Taste is grain, secondary hops, some creaminess, some wood taste. OK carbonation.

Fully clear gold, initially big bubbles to fluffy, very white head, fast gone. Vanilla and fresh grain, bit spicey nose (dry leaf spices), herb. Dry, grainy and pale malts taste with restrained sweetness. Little bitterness that is not quite clean enough to be called hoppy. Sweet impression always remains threatening, without bursting through. Definitely grist slickness, and quite some restsugars. Despite diminishing carbonation, a bit fizzy all through. Reasonable Kölsch, quite acceptable, even if a bit Pilsner-oriented, certainly from the bottle.

500ml bottle. Pale gold with disappearing white head. Nice hop, some lemon citrus. Light, enjoyable, good pale malt and lemony finish. I rather like it. 3.2/5 rerate a bit better, decent hop on finish.

Bottle: Pale golden, mid-sized fluffy head; faint fruity (pears) and grainy nose, kind of perfumed; mild, slightly bitter-sweet flavour; short, mild bitter fruity finish. Not unpleasant, quite well drinkable "low budget" Kölsch................
