This light-colored, refreshing ale is THE beer of Cologne. Well balanced and mild mannered, this beer is great for summer. Available May through August.

"Light colored pour with a slight head. Very crisp and a bit fruity, with subtle hops. Overall, it has a nice full flavor but is not heavy with malt. No wonder they call it summer ale. It is indeed a perfect beer to ice down and enjoy outdoors. "

[2] Review by Bowdman from Marion, IA, USA who has tried this beer once. (6/3/2007 6:49:51 PM)
"My first experience with a Kolsch. Very refreshing. Slightly hazy golden pour with medium head. Good lacing. Balanced in flavor, noticable malts with a hint of hops. Fruits mildly detected. Perhaps a touch of lemon. Good mouthfeel. Finish is clean and crisp. I enjoyed this a bunch and would recommend, but can not compare to other bottlers."

[3] Review by Brett from Far from good beer, OK, USA who has tried this beer once. (9/16/2005 11:38:17 PM)
"Sampled on draft, Patton Alley Pub, MO. This kolsch pours slightly hazy gold with an ample white head and nice lacing. A well-balanced flavor that highlights its malts with just a hint of peppery hops and subtle fruits (apples and plums). Medium-light body and moderate carbonation. Finishes clean. Very drinkable and a good example of the style!"

[4] Review by Lang from Newport, TX, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (6/11/2005 2:02:52 PM)
"I had only read about the Kolsch style of beer when I encountered this in St. Louis. Since it doesn't emphasize hops, I was a little leery. At the time I was all about the hops. But this is a surprisingly pleasant beer. Crisp mouthfeel, citrusy and sweet, but enough hops to keep me interested. Who says Budweiser's the only beer in St. Louis?"

[5] Review by drewseslu from Saint Louis, MO, USA who has tried this beer many times. (5/22/2005 1:11:40 PM)
"A well made Kolsch, we have here. Good, but small, head, crisp taste and mouthfeel, as expected. Mildly fruity and clean, an excellent summer beer that certainly surpasses their hefeweizen.
RERATE: One helluva Kolsch, the only better incarnations have been from great homebrewers. Lightly fruity, malty and subtly hoppy, this is wonderful when fresh.RERATE: Since switching over to Gaffel yeast this beer had hit another level."
