"darkmagus82" & "mactrail" got their taste reviews right - bought for 50 cents at a N.W. IN liquor store with dust on the bottle!

Poured from bottle into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a super hazy golden-yellow color with a huge billowy white head. The head has a decent retention power fading slightly faster at first, but then slowing quite a bit and maintaining its strength. While rather persistent it does fade over time and does diminish to fade a decent level of lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is heaviest of a bready nature with a moderately strong grainy wheat smell. Along with these aromas is a nice blend of grassy and citrus hop as well as a bit of caramel and orange sweetness which when combined with the rest create a very nice and balanced kolsch aroma.
Taste – The taste begins with a dry grainy and malted taste. It begins strong with lots of grass and hay flavors and only gets stronger in the flavors to the end. While a bit of caramel and orange sweetness were in the nose, there was almost none on the tongue. The grass and hay flavors grow stronger and more off to the end where they combined with a lemon and slightly earthy flavor to leave a very off and slightly astringent tanniny taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the beer is quite light with a carbonation level that is rather average. While good for the style, the off flavors of the brew can’t be helped and any which way you slice the mouthfeel it just can’t cut it.
Overall – While the aroma and smell were very pleasant (as with many of the evil genius brews) the taste was quite off (again a bit too common of a trend for their brews; but not all…). This is not one I will come back to and I would suggest to leave it by the wayside.

Poured from a brown 12 oz. bottle. Has a golden color with a 1 inch head. Smell is malty, sweet, some biscuits. Taste is malts, some hops and biscuits, easy drinking and mellow. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall this is a pretty solid beer.

I poured this into a pint glass, it has a murkey golden color body with a very large white fluffy white head that hangs arounds for a while. The aroma has a faint malt to it. The taste is sweet of malt and that is about it. The mouth feel is kinda watery, leaves a little bit of a aftertaste. Overall i'm not really liking this beer. Since it doesn't have a date on the bottle, i'm not sure how old it is.

Picked up at the Wegmans the other day and thought to give a chance.
No bottle date, age unk.
Definitly golden in color maybe even a bit darker for a kolsch style.
Head is bright white and is billowy and fluffy but fades rather quickly. Really light carbonation.
Aroma is crisp clean malts.
Taste is sweet malts. I can also taste a spicy and pepper element too, similar to a wit.Mouth feel is dry and puckering in the aftertaste.
I'm not sure if I like this one yet, though it's not bad.

Single from Abe's. Price?
Hazy pale yellow body, topped by a level finger of white bubbly froth.
Aroma is strong grass/hay. A little too assertive.
Sweet malt beginning. Rounds out a bit before the surprisingly aggressive hop bite at the swallow. Sweetness reemerges in the aftertaste.
Light mouthfeel.
Needs a little less malt sweetness and a bit more malt depth.
