Beer Belly, a truly unique American Kölsch Style Ale — similar to the Früh style of Kölsch, where it is slightly sweeter and gently fruitier than a Pilsner or Pale Ale. Dr. Jekyll’s Beer Belly is refreshing and light and boasts the finest organic Perle and Cascade hops, along with the finest organic malts. Its complex flavors combine hints of raspberry and grapefruit along with aromatic notes of cardamom and coriander. Other super ingredients include acai berry, maqui berry, green tea, green coffee bean, raspberry ketone, and grapefruit fiber. This incredibly light yet full bodied refreshing craft beer will broaden your senses but not your waist line!

Light straw in color. Nice flavors, some sweetness and citrus fruit. Not something you normally get in a Kolsch, but the beer still had some good flavors.

I found this beer and loved it. I bought a single bottle and went back the next day to buy more. Very surprising taste.

Drinking from a 22 Oz bottle. What an amazing surprise. Was looking for a temporary break from my taps at home (imperial coffee stoat, pale ale and IPA, wanted something lighter for my grilled chicken. The reviews are right, fruity, but well balanced with malts. It has great mouth feel and I taste the breadiness. Scrumdileumptious, well done.

Perfect for summer afternoon at the beach or in the cul-de-sac. Light, but fruitier than a standard European Kolsch. Cascade hops work well in this blend.

A: crystal clear; golden in color; nice lace that receded slowly
S: mild raspberry and citus;
T: Lots of flavors! Truly enjoyed. Can taste the cardamom and coriander a bit, very light bitterness at the end;
M: light bodied; moderate carbonation ;
O: a bit sweeter than other Kolschs; but that's why I really like it, not boring.

Good beer for summer. Can down a few of these without sending you sideways. Very light and apprently healthy for you, which helps. This is my wife's favorite beer. Finally a beer that does not give her an allergic reaction.
