Kölsch
A Fábrica da Picaria

I had this beer on-tap at the brewery in a pub glass.

Appearance: light golden hue a light dash of haze and a strong effervescence. Head is a finger of frothy white foam.

Smell: lightly sweet note with a dash of graininess and a light fruity/cidery element. This is something that I noticed in the last beer I had from this brewery as well — perhaps an issue with their house yeast? It's actually not too bad, but the presence of the off flavor isn't great.

Taste: a nice rich malt flavor that is nonetheless light. It's actually quite good - except for that cider off-flavor, which is a bit less pronounced in the flavor than in the aroma.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a good level of carbonation and creaminess.

Overall: good at the base of it, but off flavors do detract a little bit from the quality of this beer.
