* Notes of 10 Nov. 2005
Had this beer on tap at the Covent Garden branch of Porterhouse pub. This beer has just been released for about a month, since mid-October.
A: bright golden hue, with pretty nice and tight foamy head, looking healthy and fizzy. Like all other house beers there, it's served slightly too cool.
S: a refreshing fruity note of lemon+white-grapefruit zest as well as a flow of grainy note expand at the same time, balanced by lots of flowery and aromatic scent of hops. For a Kölsch the aroma is truly pronounced~~
T: tasty grainy malts upfront, followed by an intensifying hop bitterness with a touch of char-like bitter taste, backed by root-spice (like ginger), earthy and slightly herbal lingering bitterness mixed well with a slight shellfish-like savoury flavour (as found in Porterhouse's own HausWeiss), along with a tangy and zesty kickback in the end.
M: very light-bodied, with a nice and semi-rich underlying flavour; but it's slightly too fizzy, even soda-like, for a Kölsch...
D: very quaffable and refreshing ale, not exactly like a traditional/typical Kölsch as I've tried in Köln with generally more attenuated texture, but this beer is not a bad attempt of immitation! Well worth a try.
