Light-bodied Kolsch-styled dank fruitiness hangs around soft wheat strand as lemony flow builds and tamped down hops gain off-dry pep.

SAINT ARNOLD FANCY LAWNMOWER KOLSCH
CHRISTIAN MOERLEIN KOLSCH ALE
Mild German-styled golden ale layers toasted barley above quaint lemony vanilla tartness and simple crystal malt pleasantries. Buttery texture complements casual one-dimensional roastedness and soft carbonation rather well.
SHINER SUMMER STOCK KOLSCHBIER
CROOKED RIVER KOLSCH ALE
(UINTA) SOLSTICE KOLSCH STYLE ALE
GAFFEL KOLSCH ALE
Flatulent olfactory aroma, fizzled white head, low key biscuit dalliance, and lazy lemon-apricot tinge dampen resolve of dry-lagered floral yeast influence. Moderate hop resonance and barest banana-clove notch turn metallic as soapiness reminiscent of simpler Eastern Euro pilsners hurts clear straw light-body.
(WEEPING RADISH) OBX BEER
Generic white-labeled black lettering (replaced by better left-side version) misleading for fine Kolsch-styled pale lager named after Outer ‘Banx’ of North Carolina. Citrus crispness and berry sweetness outline hop bitterness, re-enforcing dark malt extract and retaining appreciative Summer Ale luster.
GEARY’S SUMMER ALE
Sharp grassy hop bite, cracked wheat subtlety, and bittersweet citrus ebb provide duskier pungency than most summery Kolsch brews. But heavy carbonation corrupts orange blossom, apricot, and grapefruit illusions for fatigued diacetyl finish, sabotaging fruited malt appeal, biscuit-y caramel hint, and herbal nip.
