Earthy, citrusy, zesty goodness. Really refreshing, really sessionable. Just the right crispness and carbonation. Great, classic example of a Kolsch.

Sublime example of the style. Biscuity, balanced, crushable, delicious. Delicate but simple. Harmonious nuances of hop and barley malt. Really perfected recipe, flawlessly executed. A top 10 all time of the style for me.

Good example of the style--refreshing, nicely carbonated, well-balanced with a crisp hoppy bite--and very drinkable--great choice for summer drinking!

Very light, bright, crystal clear light golden color with a substantial head. Excellent nose presenting light malt with a touch of floral hops. Flavor is very clean, slightly grainy malt, low bitterness, light hop flavor. Eminently refreshing and quite quaffable. Not a complex beer, but an excellent one for a spring or summer day.

Gaffel Kolsch....This was a Xmas gift (along with a lot others) I'm usually drinking IPAs but this beer is really good. It isn't a light tasting beer. Great grain taste, aftertaste is pleasant.
It's a good beer and easy to drink!
