A generally sweet aroma with touch of pale malt. Flavour has sweet, slighty sticky feel. Malty with only a light bitterness. Quite a soft mouthfeel although gassy enough to cause some loud burping!

0.5L Bottle at home, Clear golden colour with a white foam head. Honestly i can’t describe any aroma, taste is good and drinkable, but nothing special. One of the lesser Kölsch i have had.

500 ml bottle into pint glass, no bottle dating. Pours fairly crystal clear golden straw color with a 2 finger dense white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of lemon, pear, apple, pepper, floral, grass, cracker, bready grain, and floral earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good balance and strength of malt, hop, and light yeast ester notes; very clean. Taste of lemon, pear, apple, floral, pepper, grass, cracker, bready grain, and floral earthiness. Lingering notes of light fruits, floral, grass, light pepper, bread, and light earthiness on the finish for a bit. Great flavor balance of malt, hop, and light fruitiness; with an extremely clean flavor profile and no cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and crisp mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a highly excellent Kolsch! Great clean and balanced flavor profile, with plenty of flavor for 4.8%; and extremely smooth to drink. A highly enjoyable offering.

how cums i never tsted this before, must have been lost. anyway, its a fresh bottle. 3$. poured into a styrofaom cup i can see its simply pale lager on appearance, nice head tho. has some of that green bottle attribute but not much. goes down pretty easy, could be a bit colder, 4-sure. from a styro cup it drinks no less refreshing than bud on tap. less than 5% makes this acceptable for a rinse. yes, good head every time. american versions of kolsch are over the top compaqred to this well done gentleman beer. no ill effects on the finish.
