355ml bottle, part of the current Bad Tattoo mixed-pack, whatever it is called.
This beer pours a clear, bright pale golden yellow colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat bubbly off-white head, which leaves a bit of melting snowbank profile lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of gritty and grainy pale malt, ethereal citrus and pome fruit skins, dead yeast, and a not so subtle wet cardboard dealio. The taste is grainy and lightly crackery pale malt, edgy yeast, a touch of hollow-seeming gasohol, muddled aged fruit (lemon and apple, primarily), and a now thankfully ephemeral sense of packaging peanuts.
The bubbles are quite active in their palate-tingling and structurally sound frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and not particularly smooth, as the yeasty, fruity, and damp paper essences are not forgiving, as such. It finishes dry, but in a pithy, wan manner, no crispness or identifiable hoppiness showing up to save the day.
Yeah, I'm not altogether certain as to the flaws here - the cardboard character kind of oscillates in and out of the shadow of a general yeast impression, but again, who knows. What is clear, however, is that True Love Kolsch (no umlaut, I checked) will disappoint any true lover of the style - for the rest of us, it's merely a slightly skewed brew.
