"A clean, crisp beer, Kolsch offers a very slight fruity flavor and aroma. It is light gold in color, with a delicate head. This light-bodied beer appeals to nearly everyone who samples it. Expect to enjoy a slight tang in the finish."
I haven't reviewed in a loooooong time. Life has been busy, but the beer drinking hasn't stopped. I have a lot of notes that I just need to type up. The goal for today? Take care of a half-dozen. This one will be the first. Had this one last night with some pizza. It was poured into a pilsner glass. Clear gold color with three fingers of fluffy white head. Splotches of lacing left behind. Long retention. Attractive beer. Simple aroma profile, picking up bread, crackers, some light grassy notes, just a touch of grape peel.
Tastes are consistent with the aroma, but grassy notes are a little more forward and the finish brings out the lightest bit of citrus and hop character. Very crisp with medium to high carbonation, light bodied (4.9% ABV).
This is an incredibly easy to drink beer, very sessionable. I haven't had a lot of kolsch beers, but I get the impression that this is very representative of the style and that it is one of the better representations as well. If you like a light bodied brew and you're not fond of dark or overly hoppy beer, I think this would be a great candidate to get someone introduced to the world of craft beer.
