The beer poured crystal clear and straw coloured from the bottle and had very little head but stayed as a ring throughout the drink. Lacing was minimal. Beautiful looking!
The aroma is definitely of sweet pale malts, some biscuity yeast and an almost imperceptible, unless you agitate the beer well, grassy hop nose.
There is a pretty good balance between the pale malt sweetness and the earthy hop bitterness which comes alive half-way through the sip. The finish is dry and slightly peppery. Some light biscuity yeast is present through the sip as well. Another reviewer mentioned cardboard, I'm not really getting that, but I may be confusing it with the earthy hops at the finish. I'm not overly familiar with this style it being maybe my 5th or 6th kolsch ever, but I think it's pretty dang good!
The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied, a bit more than I have had, slightly slick on the tongue and dry. Carbonation in this beer is medium and quite nice.
Overall, I would have to say that this fits the descriptions of a kolsch that I have read and there is really nothing that offends me or seems like an off-flavour. I really like this beer and this style and recommend trying it to anyone. Especially if you can get it on tap in the summer!

Pours from 12 oz..Clear golden color with a frothy white head that settles quickly. Aroma of crackers and herbaceous hops and a hint of white pepper. Taste is clean, crisp and dry with a toasted grain base and herbal/ grassy hops that give it his beer a unique freshness and zip to it. Very drinkable!

This is an enjoyable beer. I like kölschbier. This would get a higher rank from me if it were more true to a kölsch. It was a bit different. Not very crisp, bubbly, toasty as expected. More of a dense mellow malt beer. Also 6.2% vs. the typical sub-5 range of a kölsch. Good.

Pours a hazy dark straw color with half a finger of head. The nose is quite yeasty. The malt flavor is rather decent for the style. The classic Kolsch-style dry bitterness is there on the finish.
