L: Had this beer on-tap at Carolina Ale House, poured into a pint glass. Had a bright, golden yellow color and a clear consistency. There was a thin, foamy head that quickly dissipated. Not a whole lot of lacing.
S: A slightly underwhelming aroma of citrus fruit, malt, a bready quality, and hops.
T: Tasted of a small amount of hops (mostly in the finish), a light biscuit / bread quality, some citrus notes (mainly lemon), a good shot of malt, and a light vinous quality. This is one of those beers that's a bit on the bland side. You can detect some good things in the flavor, but they're a little muted.
F: A decent amount of carbonation with a smooth finish. Light-bodied.
O: This is one of those beers that could have better. Not bad, but there are better examples of a kolsch out there.

On tap:
Clear golden, with a head that stays as a solid foam cap atop the beer. Nice lacing as well.
Noseis cereal/cracker grain with a light citrus rind/zest. There's a light grape leave note as well.
Taste is a very light bread opening. The citrus notes and light vinuous notes come next. There's a Chablis aspect to the beer, though it stays bitter enough to not even come close to making a mistake. Warmth actually seems to bring a little more grassy bitterness - with a little lemongrass thrown in.
This beer opens a tad like a normal AAL, but jumps ship fairly quickly. A decent tasty beer that highlights malt and hops at different times, but stays with an enjoyable construct.

Ok beer probably more true to style but have had better
