From notes taken 04/14/16:
Straw-gold, at first crystalline but only semi-clear by the end of the pour, bubbly. Foamy, dense but not quite creamy, uneven head of great retention. Smells of grain, honey, angel food cake, even some yeast. Tastes very malty, in terms of both grain and grassy sweetness. Some rind, tea, and fortified white wine suggestions. As well as yeast and, it seems, wheat, character. Rindy finish, light peppery retro-olfaction. Subdued leafy, leathery astringency. Medium-bodied, thick for the style, even. Softly tingly carbonation.

Pours a nice slightly cloudy pale yellow color, nice carbonation, with a nice one-finger foamy white head, which leaves some nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is malty, with some nice yeast/grass/wheat notes, some lemony. The taste is pretty nice malty, yeasty, grassy/wheaty, with some lemon notes. Medium body. Overall, a nice thirst quencher.

Pours two fingers of head on a hazy light straw body.
The aroma is cut grass and mild.
The taste starts clean, mild bitterness, then a more grainy finish with a little metallic bitter finish.
The texture is softer with a nice fizz.
It's fine.

Bitter.. Dominated some of the Kolsch yeast & malt gentleness.... More in the direction of a pilsner... Still good
