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.

Sharp grassy hop bite, cracked wheat subtlety, and bittersweet citrus ebb provide duskier pungency than most summery Kolsch brews. But heavy carbonation corrupts orange blossom, apricot, and grapefruit illusions for fatigued diacetyl finish, sabotaging fruited malt appeal, biscuit-y caramel hint, and herbal nip.

Green sailboat-labeled Kolsch-styled ’06 version thrusts corn sugared cereal grains and toasted barley atop casual nuttiness and floral apple-peach nuance for moderate-bodied blue collar amiability. Alcohol acridity and dry metallic finish disturb soft lemony hop bittering.

Sturdily malt-sweet German-styled hot weather refresher picks up lively orange rind bittering alongside piney hop briskness. Quince, peach, grapefruit, tangerine, and lemon curd subsume wheat-dried back end quite efficiently.

Reliable light-bodied Kolsch-styled brew with pearly white head and pale golden hue highlights ripe peach-grapefruit tang over dry lemony wheat backbone, but watery finish abruptly abandons fruity nuances after a few sips.

Fizzy cloudy-hued blonde layers citric zest above creamy malt richness and wheat biscuit bottom. Moderate hops complete the score. Not as distinct as it should be.

Quick hop hit gets sunny sour lemon twist and peppery accent for summery light-bodied tranquility, but initial fizzy briskness lost in dreary dry wheat simmer by slightly acidic finish.

Marmalade-bound oats-grained amber-hazed springtime ale tucks citric quinine-watered crispness below glutenous sourdough pungency. Prominent clay hops increase lemon-soured grapefruit-orange-tangerine tartness to bitter end.

Dusky light-bodied Kolsch-styled ale lacks dry fruit or wine-like illusions of its ilk. Instead, swill grain palate and brittle malt duress glitched by grueling sulfuric aroma and poorly developed hop-spiced finish.

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.
