I was in Cologne early last year, tasted a number of Kolsches and rated none of them. My mistake. Recently I visited Susan’s in Santa Fe, NM and spotted Sunner’s Kolsch. Belatedly I will be giving it a rating. The brew is in a 500 ml bottle and going into a shaker glass. It arrives a pale, straw yellow topped by a vigorous white on white head, a zillion tiny bubbles. Almost no scent, perhaps a light citrus. And it is the same with with a taste, there is a hint of lemon, grain, water and for all the carbonation, it is a little flat. Not as I remember. A bit let down on this.

0,33 l bottle from Getränke Hoffmann, Deutz. Clear golden, small one finger white head. As expected. Little bit sour malty smell. Taste is also malty with some fruity elements in the background. Little bit different to other Kölsch.
