Thanks to WunderLlama for this one.
A muted, almost clear gold liquid has a constant stream of golden orbs that keep the foamy head alive for the first few minutes. White fluffy head has good retention and leaves very delicate lace strings.
Smell is slightly herbal, bready, and then a noticeable black pepper note.
Flavor is more nuanced. The hop notes are more toward a drying side of bitter/herbal, thus less spicy. The breadiness goes from under cooked rustic bread to a biscuity sourdough. Really nice even if a tad shy of Kölsch style descriptors.
Mouthfeel is a tad fuller than is typical, but really nice. Moderate carbonation and a smooth feel that nods in the direction of fluffy.
Overall, a really lovely beer for grilling. I think it may drift a bit from style guidelines, but as a person who respects faithful execution but is NOT wed to it, a fine beer.

5.1 abv Kolsch style Ale Hallertau, Mittlefruh and Herburucker hops

Poured from an undated can yields a foamy head, dissipating to a slight fuzz and no lacing to speak of. Fairly clear straw colored, well lagered and bright.

Aroma is almost champagne like with malt and bread notes

Taste is similar to the nose, malty and yeasty. Kind of a white grape fruity taste

Mouthfeel is slightly sticky, well carbonated and dry. Crisp and clean feeling. Very light drinking

Overall a crisp, clean, and refreshing ale
