Sampled at the brewpub. Transparent pale gold with no head. Mild aroma, grass and a little candy. Flavor is fruity and grassy up front and then melds into a classic grass kolsch. Thin, watery finish. More flavor than a standard Kolsch.

Watery, opaque black with a ringing white head. Nutty aroma, toasted malts. Flavor has more nuts and toasted malts but does it all without being heavy. Thin, slightly dry finish. Sessionable but average.

Sampled at the brewpub. Transparent amber/gold. Spicy, fruity nose. Strong flavor, bitter, soapy. The finish is kind of nondescript but oddly, I enjoy this. Seems to be a big seller too.
