Beer Ratings and Reviews:
[1] Review by Sap from Tucson, AZ, USA who has tried this beer once. (5/24/2008 8:19:38 PM)
"A fairly careful pour into my 25cl tulip glass yields an initially, almost three-finger thick, pale, just off-white colored head. The beer is brilliantly clear with a rich golden hue. The aroma smells predominantly of clean, sweet grain that reminds of honey and a soft floral influence. A touch of herbal hop character seems to round things out as does some light, pale malt notes of saltine crackers and light biscuit notes.
Somewhat dry, though it does have a light grain sweetness to it, the beer does not have nearly the sweetness that the aroma was suggestive of. This actually has a fair amount of perceptible bitterness: at the beginning of each sip it is a light herbal bitterness through to the finish where it is a light, clean, crisp bitter note. A touch of floral honey character is more noticeable as a flavor than a sweetness. At the start of each sip a dry, malt driven flavor of crushed saltine crackers is noticeable as a flavor that is accentuated through the oral nasal; this note tends to stick around as well, even continuing on through the long finish. While light and quaffable this beer still maintains a presence and mouthfeel along with slightly viscous heft that perfectly compliments the clean malt character.
This has survived far better during the export process than I was expecting, it is missing perhaps a bit of vibrancy in the hop character, but I find it quite nice how simple and clean the flavors are here. Obviously as a Kölsch, no one flavor jumps out here, this is a subtle experience, but there is a depth of flavor here and the amalgam of flavors really work towards a harmonious whole.

[2] Review by RJA from Palm Springs, FL, USA who has tried this beer once. (2/3/2008 12:57:04 PM)
"Very much like a pilsner in color and head. Not a big fan of lagers but then I'm willing to try something at least one. Nothing I'd write home about. Light gold body with foamy white head. Decent retention on the head. The hop taste is a bittering one."

[3] Review by beerdog from Delta, BC, Canada who has tried this beer once. (12/18/2007 5:05:48 PM)
"This beer poured a foamy white head, two fingers thick, over a body of clear light gold. The aroma was mostly hopped, and the taste was mostly hops with undertones of malt. Mouthfeel was leaning to the thin side of the scale, and the finish was "okay"."

[4] Review by Phishpond417 from Madtown, Wisc, USA who has tried this beer once. (12/5/2007 9:13:16 PM)
"This beer pours a bright golden colour with a medium sized white fluffy head. Very full bubbly mouthfeel, a little pear, and maybe some lemon. Very crisp, clean finish. impressive, im not usually one for a kolsch but this was wicked smooth and filling."

[5] Review by YumBeer from Edgewater, NJ, USA who has tried this beer once. (10/4/2007 8:31:37 PM)
"A golden colored ale that has a sweet smell of malts and some yeast. Once I had the opportunity to taste it I was surprised to taste how fresh and clean tasting this kolsch is. I tasted some hops, spice and yeast on the palate. A nice easy drinking kolsch that tastes better than Gaffel."
