Poured out of a 12 oz bottle into one of my stange glasses, this beer pours a very clear, light to medium golden color with nice, fluffy looking white head that is about an inch thick when initially poured. Settles eventually to a nice thick ring lining the inside of the glass with a nice cluster swirl of surface foam and decent lacing. Aromas of crisp, bready malts and a subtle hop presence. Has a slight peppery and lemony, citrus hop zest upfront that gives way to a nice crisp, bready malt flavor with some subtle sweet notes. Nice mix and balance of flavors, and certainly a bit more hoppy than a lot of other kolschs I have had. Has a good mainly crisp, smooth, slightly frothy, light to medium bodied mouthfeel with minimal to moderate carbonation. The mouthfeel is spot on for this beer. This beer is quite refreshing on this hot and humid, very summer feeling night here in Cleveland. Has a clean finish. Another good effort here from the folks over at the GLBC!

This was served in a stange. The appearance was a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute. Messy lacing stuck around the glass. The smell started with a sweet grassy yet lightly crisp malt and delicate spicy grassy hops. The taste was about the same sort of sweet yet lightly spiced crisp flavor. There’s no aftertaste and no finish. On the palate, this sat exceptionally light and came across exceptionally smooth on my tongue. Overall, good kolsch I’d have again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pours a bright yellow clear color with a nice frothy bright white head. Abundant carbonation. Smells citrusy, very lightly malty as well. Initial taste is light, crisp and a mildly bitter aftertaste. Lacing is impressive. Overall a great summertime brew
