FRENCH BROAD RIVER GATEWAY KOLSCH
Easygoing dry light body brings lemon-oiled Saaz/Perle hop herbage to French breaded wheaty pilsner malting, picking up slight skunked grassiness. Better than decent.
TRILLIUM SPRANG KOLSCH INSPIRED ALE
On tap at Growler & Gill, white winey Nelson Sauvin hops redirect wavering kolsch variant as green grape, gooseberry and guava tartness upends moderate lemon pith bittering, herbal white peppering and mild green tea sneak. Mineral grained pilsner malts and dry rye breading placate dextrin starching. Offbeat.
REVERIE FRUIT OF THE ZOOM LIME & RASPBERRY KOLSCH
Somewhat peculiar stylistic variant, part of Reverie’s rotating fruited kolsch series, lets zestful limey raspberry spritz take on questionable botanical cologne musk, clean celery crisping and cucumber-watered watermelon rind snip over thicker than expected honeyed malt bottom.
REVERIE YOU’RE ON MUTE KOLSCH
Showing more depth and sour fruiting than typical kolsch styling, green grape tannins, lemon pith bittering and moldy orange mustiness receive champagne sparkle over grainy pilsner malts. Musky hop oiled phenols, dried grassiness and slight herbage pick up cucumber watering.
OAKFLOWER STATION KOLSCH
On tap at Taphouse 15, dry straw-yellowed light body stays too subtle as slightly soured champagne-sparkled green grape tannins seep into grassy hop stead at washed-out pilsner malt base. Suited to mellower sessionable thirsts.
TOMS RIVER STICK TOSS KOLSCH
On tap at Plank Pizza, soft-tongued moderation stays sturdy as sour lemon musk infiltrates grassy meadow and dried maize stead, picking up slight herbage. An above average New Jersey Devils inspired brew.
PHASE THREE SPRUDEL KOLSCH
On tap at Ambulance, dry lemon spritz and recessive gooseberry-passionfruit salting reach peaty mineral grained earthen bottom. A tad unconventional for a simple pilsner-malted kolsch due to slightly sourer fruiting.
NEPENTHE WEREWOLF DEATHGRIP KOLSCH
Combining dry Hallertau-hopped green grape esters with sharp Amarillo-hopped lemon candied yellow grapefruit tang gives offbeat kolsch a sour IPA twist while retaining stylishly crisply clean pilsner-malted white bread bottom.
TWO TON SUN DECK FLEX KOLSCH
On tap at Taphouse Grille – Wayne, dry cologne-perfumed ginger spicing and key lime pie piquancy guide curious kolsch variant. Ancillary Mimosa champagne fizzing seeps inside tart herb-tinged lemon candied midst.
VON TRAPP DRY-HOPPED KOLSCH
On tap at Triton -Beach Haven, dry-hopped kolsch collab with fellow Vermont brewery, Upper Pass, wrings persistent champagne-dried lemon musk, sedate clementine oiling and grassy hop herbage out of white breaded pilsner malt moderation.
EBBS KOLSCH NO. 2
Dry lemon musk, sweetly soured apple scruff and mild Perle hopped floral herbage condensed over sourdough-daubed honeyed Vienna malt base of straightforward kolsch.
