Cambridge House Copper Hill Kölsch
The Cambridge House Brewpub

Translucent bordering clear. Pale yellow. No head but I'm not sure how long it took from pour to delivery at my table. Aromas as light, crackery malt with some grassy notes. Taste largely follows with some stale bread notes, along with cracker and grass. Feel was crisp, clean and easy drinking. Solid beer.

Had the CBH Kölsch at The Cambridge House Brew Pub, Granby, Conn., on draft into pint tumbler.

Based on memories from Köln, this is a rather authentic Kölsch, from color and head, to aroma and flavor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On tap at the brew pub. Served in a pint glass. Came with a half finger or white head, pale and slightly hazy body. A thin cap of head remains for a bit. Smells faintly of grainy malts, maybe some earthy hops but thats about it. Tastes malty sweet, touch of earthy hops, some bready yeast. Medium/thin bodied, light carbonation. Just about quafable, very pleasant on the palate. Overall a good beer that I would get again.

I am assuming this is the beer I had at Cambridge House, but I did not jot 'Copper Hill' for the name and the abv on the menu listed 4.8% as the abv...on to my review anyway

Served chilled in a standard pint

A - A mildly hazed golden color w/ very small white head. Lace sticks in a film w/ a bead that is tiny

S - The aroma has a slight sulfuric yeast quality w/ subtle fruit esters and mildly grainy malt scent

M - The feel is lightly spiced w/ moderate carbonation and dry, no more like semi -sweet finish. The maltiness and yeast texture is well balanced w/ light hopping and mild bitterness

T - This is a tasty beer, w/ gentle grainy and mildly spiced flavor - the maltiness is balanced by a white grape-like hint and yeastiness has a gentle tannic edge w/ a mellow herbal hop note. The subtle toasted grain effect on the flavor is lightly sweet which makes it seem fuller in body than it tastes

D - I like it, it drinks well. I think this is pretty good representation of the style- I could handle a session of these @ 4.8% and the spritziness cut the fat of the cheesesteak I paired with it well

On tap at Cambridge House on 3/2/10.

A - Pale golden with a slight haze and hint of orange coloration with a slim white cap on top that reduced to a patchy veil and thin net of lace around the edges.

S - Really clean nose with honey sweetness, light citrus hops, grassy notes and a subtle biscuity malt character. There is also a hint of lemon zest and toasted grains in the background.

T - Copper Hill is a citrus-forward Kolsch with grainy malt accents and a biscuity character. Hints of grassy hops mingle with a honey sweetness, then finishes bittersweet with a light hop bite.

M - Light bodied, crisp and sweet with moderate carbonation and a slight oily texture. Finishes with subtle hop bitterness on the palate.

D - I found this to be a good enough Kolsch that hit the spot on this particular night. Crisp, smooth and easy drinkin'... what more could you ask of this style?

Served in a 16oz pint glass

If this beer were a chick... She'd be a 9 out of 10... very good lookin.

Smells like yeast and noble hops. I also detect some citrus.

"This is a tasty beverage" (Samuel L Jackson from Pulp Fiction) Lots of nice hops,yeast, and citrusy high notes.

Light mouthfeel - very smooth and refreshing.

Very nice session beer. Light without being bland.

Got a growler of this a little while ago and just decided to review it here.

First off, Kolsch's aren't one of my favorite brews but this is by far the best one I've had, although I haven't tried too many. Pours a light golden color with a high amount of carbonation. This is a super drinkable beer nice on a hot day because of its light body. Taste is refreshing but almost non existent. Better than average but I wouldn't pick this beer first thing.

this was an outstanding beer and I can see why it is prize worthy.
Pale staw color, clear with nice rising bubbles, an average size white head with ok stick

Clean malty nose and a hint of hops

Some nice pilsner malt. Clean and crisp and cracker like. The hops are perfect for me. They might be a little high for the style but they add so much character to this brew. I think the hops are Saaz but I haven't looked into it to confirm.

Light crisp mouthfeel

Extremely drinkable!! and very very tasty!

This beer is a pale golden yellow color with a medium white head that leaves decent lacing on the glass as you drink it. The smell is floral and slightly fruity, like a citrus. The taste is absolutely unique and suprising! It is slightly biter and hoppy at the start but then it has this extra kick at the end that just completely shocked me! It ended with a bitter apple/sour lemon flavor. This is a very pleasant and dynamic enjoyable light-bodied refreshing beer that is smooth and balanced. It is easy going down and satisfying to the end! Do NOT miss this one on your next trip to Cambridge House!

This beer is golden yellow in color. Nice lacing around the glass. The first sip of his beer was a nice suprise. Initially a strong citrus taste followed by a subtle hop finish. Light carbonation and a very smooth drinkable beer. This is a beer I could drink all night long.

A few nice pints served up after work from an afternoon trip to the Cambridge Brew House during my lunch break. I wish I had had the time to enjoy a pint with my lunch. Well this one holds true to all the medals it holds. It pours a nice hazy yellowish tint with a great frothy clean white head. Very impressive looking for such a light styled brew. This one has potential and will pave the way to win over many stubborn Bud drinkers. This beer smells of a light pale malt mixed with a rather dough like yeast smell. Subtle fruit hints maybe some light citrus tones cascade to the front line. The smells are constantly changing in the nose and carry a great anticipation to the taste. Many variations of a light hop mix with the slight doughy yeast essence. This beer has a great taste and an unbelievable smooth flavor that flows effortlessly over the tongue. Extremely smooth flavor with nice mild pale malt tones. Subtle light hop after taste. Once you taste it you know this is a very drinkable and enjoyable beer. The well rounded flavors of this brew make for a great compliment to any meal or occasion. Well recommended!
