5L keg at our Septoberfest party. Pours a clear pale yellow color with noticeable bubbles and a medium white head that dissipates steadily. Small patches of lacing. The aroma is grassy hops with mild malt. Light, clean body with hops, straw and sweet malt flavors. The finish is moderately hoppy with a sweet malty aftertaste. Decent all around, although I am not sure it justifies the higher price tag given other domestic Kölsch choices are just as good.

Yeasty, malty aroma with a scent of lemon and/or grass. Brassy gold color with a fine white head that lasted. Thin to medium bodied with mild, creamy carbonation. It starts with a fruity, white grape aspect, goes with pale malt sweetness, and it is balanced with a good amount of bitter. Everything about it is a bit light, except the mouthfeel and the bitter finish.

Clear golden color, small white head. Strong aroma of iron, underlying fruity notes. Fizzy, slightly harsh malty flavor. Hard metallic and watery mouthfeel. Apple-fruity notes in the aftertaste. Average example of Kölsch-style, style which is clearly overrated in RB.

Bottle, poured into my 1999 GABF tasting glass. Hey,it was the closest thing to Kölsch glass that I had. This is a great Kölsch. It pours clear yellow, with a nice white head that sticks around. Aroma is faint, but there is grass and other earthy notes in it. Touch of sweet maltiness at the start, then dries out to a slight bitter finish. I like my Kölsch cold, quick and drinkable - this one hits it on every front. Not any depth to it, but hey this isn’t the style for it. Did I just use "hey" twice in a review? To the literalists, I suppose it was three including the question.

500ml bottle; sweet malt nose with honey and a note of vanilla; crystal clear gold with a good sized white head; flavor has some graininess, sweetness with only the tiniest hint of citrus hops. Not enough hops for the style, but tastes OK. May be an older bottle but has no date.

Pours a brilliantly clear medium yellow with a firm white head. Dry, almost yeasty aroma. This is all about subtlety. The malt is present, but very light as are the hops. Very little fruitiness, but this doesnt taste quite like an lager either. A bit of dryness in the finish. Light body and light palate.
