We bought a 16 oz pour at at a hamburger joint on San Francisco St. in Santa Fe today. A crisp, bright gold, it went well with the Hatch chiles on the French fries we had. Lemon, grain, a bit of apricot, it was served very cold which only made it better. A decent Kolsch.

Sample at GABF 10/05/2019, thanks to kathryneels for assistance with note-taking. Clear pinkish-red color with a thin pinkish-white head that burns away quickly to a film. Short strings of lace. Aroma of raspberry, wheat and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of lightly tart raspberry, creamy wheat and malt. The finish mildly tart with a raspberry aftertaste. Above average overall.

12oz can from Total Wine-Uptown. Dark muddy brown pour with a small beige head. Roast malt aroma with hints of chocolate and whiskey barrel. Taste continues in this vein with more chocolate and bigger accents from the barrel. Smooth.
