Description
Owned by "Brauerei zur Malzmühle" since 01/2022.

The origin of the brewery and distillery Gebr. Sünner was located in Cologne-Deutz. Today it is the oldest Kölsch brewery in the world and has been owned by the Sünner family since 1830. The origins go back to a small house brewery called "Zum Schiffgen" with a distillery and taproom. In 1846 the brewery moved to the current premises in Cologne-Kalk. With Astrid Schmitz-DuMont, the sixth generation of the Sünner family has taken over the management of the brewery and continues the tradition of the family-owned brewery and distillery.

Bottle @ home. Clear golden color, medium sized white head. Aroma is malts and a bit unpleasant, a bit like cattle feed. Very grainy. Taste malts, again pretty to very grainy, a bit bitter. Not very nice at all. Drinkable, but way too malty and not light and crisp as I had hoped. Meh. Rating: 4-3-5-2-9= 2.3 -- Re-rate only on figures, September 12th 2016. Bottle on holiday, bought a month earlier in Germany. Much fresher this time than the bottle I had before.

500ml bottle @ Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Pours clear gold with good white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, almost buttery. Taste is smooth, moderately sweet, some spice and a low bitterness. A refreshing quaffer.

Flaske 500ml på rom 507 - hotell Aveny i Umeå 11 Jul 15. Lys gylden. Lavt tett skum. Aroma av eple & syrlig malt. Smaken mer eple og en anelse korn. Holder seg lett syrlig. Forfriskende - men vel mye kullsyre.

Ordentliches Gold im Glas, stabiler Schaum. Sehr maischig in der Nase. Im Trunk erfrischend fruchtig, im Abgang malzig. Nicht verkehrt.

Fra flaske på Mi2 Cardinal okt-15: klar, lys gylden med kort skum. Vegetal aroma, men frisk og lett sødmefylt smak med en lys og fin bittterhet som gjør den meget lett å helle over drøvelen. En god sommerøl. Kanskje jeg bør reise til Köln en gang?

330 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4.8%. Crystal clear pale golden colour, moderate to low white head. Moderate aroma of floral and herbal hops. The flavour is herbal, medium dry and quite crisp, with distinct bittering hops in the aftertaste. Refreshing. Fair enough.
