Kyoto Kolsch
Kizakura Sake Brewing Co., Ltd.

Standard foam for the head but it sticks around and leaves some slippery streaks and spots. This liquid is bright gold and clear.

Crisp American light lager aroma. It smells “weak.”

There’s a decent pale malt presence and the hop is appropriately muted (but present). Good body for the style with a slightly elevated carbonation level. The hop strengthens with the swallow leaving a longer aftertaste for a Kölsch.

 

 

 

orange amber, thin head vanishes very quickly.
taste like a lager IPA. not heavy in bitterness, with a light fruity flavor profile. a somewhat weak carbonation goes very well with the style. The feel in mouth is exceptional. very clean, makes you wish you bought an extra 12 oz amber bottle for $3.99. would go well with any food.

overall a 4.25. it’s my first rating, so I tried to not make it a 5, but wow someone should!

edit: I went back and got another. It was actually $4.79. They describe a Kolsch style which I confused with Gosh! I thought go ahead, take a chance. I was thrown off a bit, by expecting it to be sour, thankfully not! The label states “an original ale from Kizakura”- yes, it is original, and lovely!

Look:Amber orange, large bubble head fades fast, no lacing.
Smell: light fruity, slight hops aroma.
Taste: A nice malt presence, detectable, not overpowering. A fermented fruitiness is present. A respectable hops with slight lingering bitterness. extraordinary!
Feel: My favorite part. It felt beautiful in the mouth. Refreshing, low carbonation, perfect dryness.This is an amazing drinking beer, but it will cost! Worth it!

So, sorry people, I changed my mind, this is my 5/5. I love many other beer, but this one leaves a mark!

This is a nice Kolsch beer with a smooth mouthfeel and a profile of aromas and flavors that are pretty mild and therefore easy to pair with food, especially the ones on offer at the brewery's café.
