Canned Aug 8th. Can notes state they "tweaked" last year's recipe. Pour is a hazy, light-orange-amber, frothy head quickly fades out. Nose is pure lime leaf, quite prominent. Taste pulls you back to the underlying beer, with the fruit coming in on the finish. A bit of sweetness helps make this an all-around tasty and refreshing beer, especially on a warm afternoon. The low ABV of 4.9% won't weigh you down.

On draft at John's Marketplace in Beaverton, OR. Enjoyed in a John's-branded pint glass.
Look:
Pale yellow-gold with a slight haze, capped with clean white foam that leaves thready lacing.
Smell:
Semi-sweet malt with a drop of honey and a light fruity character that sketches out a fuzzy Venn diagram of pears, apple skin, and a bag of dried mixed fruit. There's also a delicate floral/spicy hop aroma floating on top. I don't get much in the way of lime, per se, but a tangy citrus note shows up as the beer warms.
Taste:
Leads with the lightly-honeyed malt promised by the nose. It's semi-sweet, a little toasty, and satisfying. The middle is dry and crisp, and a little grassy and spicy. Mild pear and red apple notes linger underneath and lead to a hit of lime zest as sharp as the "PING" that introduces Pink Floyd's "Echoes." The finish is dryly malty with hints of spicy hops and an echo of tangy lime.
Feel:
Light-bodied with a subtle chewy texture. Moderate carbonation combines with the lime notes and spicy hops to leave a tingle across the palette.
Overall:
A well-made kölsch enhanced with mild lime character that plays well with the fruity elements from the yeast. Clean and light, but still satisfying. Delightful on a warm afternoon at the end of a bike ride.
