It is a bit sweet for a Kolsch. Honey and even banana on the nose. It actually has some hefeweizen characteristics in both the nose and the taste. As a beer, it is actually quite tasty. But as a Kolsch, there is something extra going on that starts to take it out of the kolsch category for me.

On tap at Swiftwater Brewing in Rochester, NY.

This smells like sweet grains, honey, and grassy hops.

This doesn’t have the depth of malt character I truly desire in this style, and it also has an odd sweetness that doesn’t make me too happy. The hop character is decently crisp, though.

It’s definitet drinkable at least, with a good level of carbonation.

This is definitely a flawed Kolsch and needs a bit of tweaking.
