1552 Muskoka Moonlight Kettle Series 2020 - 04: Late Bloomer Canada Kölsch 3.7

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

473ml can <br> 5.0% ABV <br> Best Before: July 19, 2020<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> April 29, 2020<br> $3.95<br> The beer pours a deep translucent ruby red with an uneven rocky film for a cap. The can says ‘Kolsch’ on it, but the aroma on this baby is very un-Kolsch like. A lot of tart berry notes and funky grains to be noticed. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with lively carbonation. The flavour leans more to the elderberries than the blueberries, but there is no tartness in the flavour. Finish is lightly bitter. Very good beer, but still wouldn’t be a favourite.
