This traditionally brewed, award-winning Kolsch beer is straw colored, crisp, and refreshing, similar to a lager in many respects. Thus is actually a light German ale.

On-draught @ Piece.
A: Clear yellow with a white cap atop. ~2 minute retention.
Sm: Pilsner malt. Floral hop aromatics.
T&M: Nails the crisp refreshing mouthfeel of traditional German expressions of the style. Marries a light-bodied pilsner malt backbone with pleasant floral and grassy hop flavours.
Harmonious and well-balanced. Smooth, wet, refreshing.
O: A surprisingly solid kolsch given an American brewery is behind it...I could drink this all night. Great mouthfeel and above average depth of flavour. Definitely worth a go...I'll have to revisit this in finer grain in future.
High B- (3.44) / WORTHY

To be honest this beer is their standard go to when it comes to pairing a beer with their pizza. While I am not a huge fan of it, it does the trick. Comes out of the gate weak, doesnt have a great finish either. I have had it where it tastes ok, and other times it tastes like a 2 liter of opened pop that had been sitting in the fridge for 2 months. Wish they could get some more consistency from this brew. But hey, the pizza is damn good.
