Bottle. Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Served in a matching glass, thanks to Dave at the shop! Clear as a bell, bright, pale gold. Thick and foamy, lasting, white head. Nose has cereal grain. Doughy bread. Grass mulch. Taste has a bready sweetness. Low bitterness. Light to medium body. Massaging carbonation. Some grassy bitterness to finish.

On tap at Gilden Brauhaus, Cologne. Pale yellow beer with solid thin head. Some lacing. Distant fruity hop nose, very distant. Thin body, clean malt taste. Bubblegum finish. Not my favorite Kolsch, but like all of them it's easy-drinking.

500ml bottle into glass. Bought from a kiosk at Barbarossaplatz, Cologne. Crystal clear golden amber beer with fluffy white head. Light carbonation. Sweet malty nose. Effervescent in the mouth. Lightly bitter taste turns to malt in the finish. Some sourness right at the end. Another easy-drinking Kolsch!

330ml bottle into glass. Pale amber beer with thin white head. Some very lonely bubbles. Nose is light lemon. Quite fizzy in the mouth. Lemon, malt, and grain all make brief appearances. Finish is lingering lemon. Not bad.

Pours lifeless gold from the bottle. The head makes a quick exit. Aroma is a mix of grains, grass and rubbing alcohol. Taste mildly sweet up front. Turns more bitter with mineral notes at the end. Body is lifeless, quite light, a touch watery. Nothing here to really like.

I got a pack of 4 from a nice acquaintance in a buckle bottle. The look was nice, even foam, but the taste disappointed me. Because it's not very. Some hops, but more of a watery feeling. The foursome sold out, but I wouldn't buy it for myself. It"s a classic Kölsch. The Klassiker :)

Egy kedves ismerőstől kaptam egy 4-es kiszerelést csatos üvegben. A megjelenés szép, még hab is volt, de az íze nekem csalódás. Mert nem nagyon van. Némi komló, de inkább csak vizes érzés. A négyes elfogyott, de magamnak nem vennék.
