Pours a brilliant gold with great clarity and a fluffy two-finger white head that leaves nice lacing.

Aromas of pear, grape, peach, slight berry, honey, and cracker.

The sip starts with honey, peach, and pear. Through the middle, white bread, cracker, white grape, and pear (again) come to the fore. At the finish the hops rise to the occasion with herbal, grassy, and slightly peppery bitterness that balances all of the prior fruit and honey notes. White grape, pear (once again), and herbal hops linger through the finish.

Moderately high and active carb provides a medium body and causes this beer to dance on the palate. Dry finish.

Overall, fantastic kolsch. Big fruit notes with balancing hops and a dry, somewhat bitter finish. You could go through a lot of these quickly and I suspect be just as happy with the last pint as the first.
