Biscuit, old rusk, peanut, vague chlorine. Bitter rusk, cereal, wholemeal, grapefruit. Grassy hops, quite dry. Medium body. Quite okay, not as crisp as your regular ISA.

Bottle from Spar Houffalize.
A: clear to hazy dark golden, stable, foamy, white head.
A: green apple, pear, plum, cake, minerals.
T: sweet apple & pear, sourish wheat, spices.
F: floral hops, ripe (almost spoiled) yellow fruits, spices.
P: medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation.
Been too long since I've had a Kölsch, but this doesn't look like one. Overall a bit too dirty as well, I suspect.
