Crisply golden-bodied, fluffy pearl-headed, medium-bodied Kolsch stays nondescript. Fizzy hop-tingled lemony tangerine tang becomes acidic as stale toasted bread meander drags down marzipan nicety to soapy phenolic finish. Brighter spicy citric nuance is a must.

Fair yellowed amber white-headed German Kolsch lager suffers from overt fizz, dank Eastern European soapiness, and sour fruited paucity caused by callow grainy earthiness.

Despite sexy long-legged blonde on label, this is some rough stuff. Musty Kolsch-styled ale retains dirty earthen dryness and sourdough undercurrent. Lousy lemongrass souring disrupts unripe orange bittering undercutting astringent white grape scour. Brewery defunct: 2010.

Light-bodied sunny disposition of subtle spiced hop bitterness, yellow fruit tang, and casual herbal influence stays more buttery smooth than less watery Pyramid’s Coastline Pilsner.

Arguably, the best American Kolsch beer. Mild grain pleasantry persists beneath lively fruited hops, revealing ripe banana, tangy grapefruit, brisk lemon, and white peach cadences for zesty moderate-bodied summer stylist. Honeyed wheat bottom picks up cornbread suggestion.

Murky fruit-wafted sourdough pungency overrides delicate sweet-spiced fizziness and floral-herbed restiveness softening easygoing pale-bodied moderation. Lemony apricot and banana trifle receives phenol hop restitution. Not far removed from a summer ale with its perky citrus spritz and passive wheat backdrop. Fine all-purpose brew for light-bodied thirsts.
