This golden beer has a nice small-bubbled head. The citrusy, malty aroma is pleasant, but not remarkable. The taste is mellow with elements of caramel and citrus. It has a slightly dry finish that was just a little bit sour. I'm not a fan of spring and summer beers, but I might try this one again.

Yellow pour, ample clarity, lots of white lush head well over 1". Aroma was mild, bready, lemon, spritzy, kind of the usual kolsch edge.
Taste had that light body and minimal citrus feel. Noble hops, standard affair stuff.
