The Cowboy Kolsch
The Cowboy Restaurant & Brewery

This beer is a brilliantly clear, pale gold color and is topped by a frothy white head that is quite creamy in texture. There is a light aroma of spicy hops, and a hint of clean grain. This beer has a nice soft sweet grain character to it, but that is not all. A subtle spiciness, plus a bit of herbal character, runs throughout, and it finishes with a nice complimenting bitterness that is a bit more than I was expecting in a Kölsch. This is quite quaffable, and quite clean too, thought there is a hint of creamy fruitiness here. This is a really nice example of a Kölsch, and is certainly the best commercial one I have ever had.

Appears a light gold with plenty of carbonation pumping away and a small 1 finger head. Smell is of light malt and hops. Taste is decent. This isn't my favorite style but I like it. Very crisp with a sweet malt and crisp hop bite that finishes dry.

It's ok, dog.

Not a bad beer but I wonder why they won a medal for it. Nothing great but also nothing bad about it. A light colored gold beer with just slightly more hop bitterness than american pilsners. It is a good session beer because you can drink a lot of it without getting buzzed or hopped out. Better than most blond type ales.

Draught @ Papago
The beer pours a lightly hazed gold with a modest and bright white head that is semi-creamy in texture, and the resultant lace a thin covering upon the glass. Nose is sweet malt; fresh and pleasing, start is sweet, malt profile adequate and the top thin. Finish is mildly acidic, the hops personable in their spicy bite, quite dry and a drinkable beer.
