Bottle carried back from Germany. Thanks to Frank & Jody. Sample side-by-side with Fruh. Nose and flavor are a mirror of each other. Some sweet malt, honey, and soft mineral. Light hop finish. Light body with a decent crispness..

Weitgehend neutrales Kölsch, dezent blumig-fruchtiges Aroma, ein wenig malzig im Abgang.

Ein süffiges, aber auch ein wenig aromatisches, weitgehend neutrales Kölsch. Erinnert eher an ein schlankes Helles.
