0.5 l bottle shared with Ogi, thanks. Clear golden, small off-white head. Aroma is grain, some butter and some ripe apple. Some sweetness, some cardboard, some vegetable and malts in the flavour. Creamy, too sweet, minimal bitterness, more like a macro lager, not Kölsch. Sweet finish.

Tap at the brewhouse. Super crisp but the dryness was a bit overwhelming. Like I needed a beer after this. Had a little bit of an off aroma too. Slightly soapy. My least favourite koelsch of the trip.

I have bought this bottle, at Tanta Emmen, Paris. Drinking it quietly in my room, Mercure, Paris gare de Lyon. Not a grand cru but it is ok, a classical, kölsch style, a bit metalic and a bit rough at the palate, dry malt, a bit fruity, for a weizenmalt not so smooth, yeasty.
