Luxuriously perfumed blueberry waft inundates pearly-headed golden straw-bodied fruit ale that’s arguably better than New England’s berry-flavored competitors from Bar Harbor, Sea Dog, or Coddington’s. Sweet candied blueberry essence captured above gently hop-fizzed caramelized cereal malts, biscuit-y wheat, and cornbread. Seltzer-watered blackberry-strawberry nuance teases dry finish.

(AZALEA COAST) FOKKER ALE
PYRAMID CURVE BALL KOLSCH STYLE ALE
BERKSHIRE GOLD SPIKE ALE
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.
B.J.’S BREWHOUSE BLONDE
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.

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.
