    I was pleasantly surprised with this beer. I have been hoping Trillium would release their Kolschs soon but this fills the void. A solid easy drinking German ale!

    It is in my summer stable, over the past few summers I have had logs of it on tap. I've been too into variety lately to bother with the kegerator though.

    Yea I like the sweetness in this beer. I have no idea but I assume it's not artificial. I am not a huge shandy fan so this style is a perfect summer option for me. A friend just returned from NC and brought back OBX Kolsch. Very tasty! Anybodyknow any more Kolschs. Trillium make 2 and Blue Hills makes the Kings Kolsch.

    Now I know what the grapness is. Its the dry taste to me so that's the grapness a Kolsch displays.

    Maybe check out some actual German kolsches (Reissdorf, Fruh, Sunner). Always enjoy from a stange. Freshness is key.
