    This had a nice firm head and a nice full mouthfeel. It was slightly dry with a somewhat hoppy aroma. I just finished a mix and match 6-pack tonight, so I dont really know what Im typing. LOL

    Pretty average kolsch for the most part, not too exciting in my opinion. Poured a bright golden with a medium sized white head. Aroma is slightly fruity at first with evident hop aromas. Mouthfeel is light, somewhat grainy with a tart fruity finish.

    I'm trying to decide if I enjoyed this or if I felt it was a disappointment. This is one seriously fruity kolsch. In the aroma there is apples, some oranges with little hop profile at all. I can deal with it from a kolsch though. Appearance is crystal clear, dark yellow with medium white head. Mouthfeel is light and crisp with a slight dry finish. Flavors are apples, some grassy hops, bready yeast, and some sweet malt. The main part though is it reminds you of drinking golden grape juice, not the concord kind mind you. It is refreshing and it goes down very quickly. Average beer.

    Orange gold color. Medium to large sized white foamy head. Aroma is fruity and sweet, orange, raisins and a touch of grass. A light to medium bodied kolsch. Malts are fruity and sweet. Lots of orange and apple flavors. A touch too sweet and a bit too much like apple juice, yet there is a slight hop bite at the finish, Light and refreshing. A good summer beer, if you are looking for something sweet. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

    Bought one single of this. I am assuming its a summer ale..so the freshness might be a problem. Its a pretty average looking Kolsch..golden ,like Tate and Lyle syrup from the UK..large frothy pure white head..leaves a small amount of laceing. liked the aroma of this very sweet and floral without being overbearing..even a hint of hop in the background. taste is quite acceptable smooth sweetness at first ,than a burst of bitterness..and again a sweet finish. Honeyish in tone sometimes. Its pretty average on the palate and is borderline cloying in the end..though it just manages to stay on the palatable side of it. I dont think this is a bad beer..it certainllyisnt a good one either. Its one that i would accept but i doubt would buy again.
