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.

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

Sessionable white-headed pale-bodied lightweight frames dry wheat chaff, grassy Hallertau-hopped spicing and earthen mineral grains with continuous barley ascent as soft underlying fruit-nut resonation beckons. Relaxing lawnmowing fare for the proleteriat.

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.

Clear-bodied sourdough-scented German-styled Kolsch brings soft wheat elegance, sunny citrus hop agility, and white bread passivity to salty bottom.

On initial passing, toasted hop fragrance and roasted barley dryness gather slightest mocha tinge reminiscent of River Horse Special Ale. Frugal berry sweetness, thin almond notes, and muted orange tang firmly secure compact light-bodied finish.

Light-bodied golden summer solstice reveler maintains dry yellow fruited nature above cereal malted toasted wheat sweetness. Clay hops embrace grassy floral respite to sour yeast foundation tethering mineral-grained lager-like finish.

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.

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.
