Wait For Spring Kolsch Style Ale is a crisp and balanced ale lagered in the traditional method as brewers in Cologne, Germany did centuries ago. This sessionable brew presents hints of apple, sweet malt and a refreshingly balanced finish perfect for passing the days until the first crack of the bat in spring training.
Until next season!

355 mL can, day 8 of the 2022 Toronto Brewing beer advent calendar; dated Nov 1 2022 and served slightly chilled.
Pours clear golden yellow with fine sediment visible within the liquid; it's capped with at least a finger of soapy, foamy white head that recedes over the course of the next three or four minutes. A few strands of lace cling tenaciously to the glass, with a tight collar and sudsy cap lingering on the surface. It smells of grain husk, fresh bread, apple skin and grassy, leafy hops - nothing fancy, but very wholesome.
Very nice, clean, simplistic flavour profile - there's grainy pale malts, bready sweetness and very subtle lemon pith, with hints of apple and grassy, herbal, slightly leafy hops bringing up the rear. Finishes grassy and grain, followed by a relatively dry aftertaste. Light in body, with assertive carbonation that stays prickly and crisp right down to the last swig. Refreshing and very easy-drinking - something that can easily be consumed en masse.
Final Grade: 3.96, a solid B+. Left Field's Wait For Spring is about as good as domestic kölsch gets around here. Line this up with a mix of local alternatives and German exports, drink them blind, and I think this beer would fare extremely well - I'm pretty sure I'd take this over Gaffel, the only 'real' German kölsch you can find in Ontario these days. Crisp, thirst-quenching, just a fabulous pale lager-adjacent beer that should appeal to beer geeks and macro swillers alike.
