I cant say I'm an expert on the Kölsch style. But I will try my best. Saranacs offering pours with a fair sized head that offers good brussels and some retention. Has a clear gold color.
The nose is a couple of notches above a macro. Light on the hops ( I think most Kölsch beers are ) and a sweet grain scent.
The taste is clean with a dry finish. Notes of fruit, sweet malt and a light hop bitterness. Doesnt get my palate going but still quaffable.

Look: It pours golden and clear with a white head. Head retention is moderate.
Smell: It has a grainy sweet aroma that is also a bit grassy with a slight herbal hop whiff to it.
Taste: It is grainy sweet with slight honey. It also has a very slight herbal character.
Feel: It has a light-medium body with a slight dryness in the finish.
Overall, mostly grainy sweet for the aroma and flavors.

Brilliantly clear deep golden color with a small but long lasting bubbly white head. Graham crackery pilsner maltiness with some pomme and pitted fruits. Light floral hops. Crisp light metallic finish. Not horrible but far from a great example of the style. .
