CARTON BOAT BEER SESSION ALE

On tap at Andy’s Corner Bar, straw-hazed Kolsch-styled summer ale balances sour citric zest with pronounced herbal respite. Dry-wooded lemon-bruised grapefruit bittering leads the way as lemongrass, basil and thyme seasoning decorate supple interior. Lip-smacked lemon rind, lemon peel and lemon pit tartness provides mouth-puckering acerbity. A fuller bodied affluence makes this a better bitterer choice than softer stylish competitors.

SAMUEL ADAMS EAST-WEST KOLSCH

Crisp golden-cleared German-styled moderation bafflingly relegates advertised jasmine sambac floweriness to understated up-front waft alongside more distinct lemon-soured apricot-tangerine-orange mouthfeel and sweetened honeysuckle meander. Grassy hop dryness underscored by modest herbal tinge to frail white-breaded backbone. Fizzy carbolic nature washes out some subtle nuances. Not bad for sessionable summer pool party thirst quencher, though nearly bland and definitely under-whelming.

NEW HOLLAND FULL CIRCLE KOLSCH

Sufficing updated, relabeled, yellow-hazed, German-styled Kolsch (circa 2011) betters previous Single Malt Lager version. Musty grassy-hopped lemon-rotted vegetal astringency upends dry wheat-husked pilsner malting, toasted white breading and slightest wood pining. Dirty earthiness consumes oncoming diacetyl spicing, awkward herbal trifle and latent metallic whim.

REISSDORF KOLSCH ALE

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.
