Crooked Can Brewing Company - Florida

32 ounce crolwer, filled 6/21/2025 at the Ohio Crooked Can location. Served in a pint glass, the beer pours a mostly clear dark gold color with about an inch off-white head that stuck around a long time. Decent amount of lacing. The brew smells like grainy malt and some floral/grassy hops. Taste is similar to the aroma, but with the addition of some grapefruit and lemony citrus. Hoppier smelling and tasting than I expected, but that's not a complaint. Mouthfeel/body is light, it's smooth and easy to drink with a good amount of carbonation. I thought this was a good overall brew, seemed hoppier to me compared to other Kolsch style beers I've had but it's certainly worth a try if you get the chance.

 

Served on tap at Yards House in Orlando, Florida.
A: Pours a crystal clear, golden color with a 2 finger, a white head, rim retention, and gorgeous rings of lacing.
S: Aromas grasses and grains with a distinct lemoniness.
T: Fairly dry. Flavor largely derived from nose. A touch of bitterness excess bitterness adds to the flavor and crispness.
M: Light to medium bodied with low moderate carbonation.
O: A refreshing, flavorful Kölsch.

 

Pours a slightly chill hazed deep straw, with a little effervescence rising. The pour produces 2+ fingers of somewhat lasting, foamy white head that recedes to a thin cap with scattered surface islands & thin collar ring. Recedes to leave a hint of wispy lace. Aroma is cracker/biscuit malt, fruity/vinous, floral & some grassy hops. Taste is biscuit, sweet malt fruit forward with notes of lemony citrus, floral and grassy hops. Finishes fruity with biscuit & grass, spicy, slightly dry & lighly bitter with a thin bitterness intensifying in the aftertaste. Mouthfeel is light-medium bodied with moderate carbonation, crisp, clean & dry dry with a pleasant prickliness. Very, very drinkable.

 

 

 

 

 

Pours a clear gold with thin fast fading soapy white head. Smell: pale malt, metallic, lightly sulfury, grassy and spicy notes. Taste: more of the same... sweet graininess, moderate spicy hopping, note of lemon candy, note of white grape, grassy closer. Light bodied, slick and not quite crisp finish, somewhat aggressive carbonation. It would be fine as a lawnmower, sure, but as a Kolsch it's mediocre and with some flaws.

 

 

 

Pours a clear golden yellow with ample head.
Smell is grassy with a light hint of fruit.
Taste is grassy with a fairly bitter finish.
Mouthfeel is a bit slick.

I'm a big fan of this style and frankly they nailed it! Clear golden color with a wispy head. Excellent carbonation and mouthfeel. Great malt flavor with just a hint of hop bitterness. Extremely clean finish. They tout this as a perfect lawn mower beer and I couldn't agree more; especially after cutting my grass here in FL on a 95 degree day with 90% humidity. Very well done!
