Blond, witte schuimkraag... fris en prikkelig. Vrij vlak, iets zoet en niet heel erg uitgesproken.
Mwoah.
Sampled from 0.33 l bottle from local 'trinkgut', best before August 2018. Clear, golden with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Slightly sweetish, a bit grassy-spicy aroma of grains and some straw. Moderately sweet, slightly bitter, moderately grassy-spicy taste of grains, straw and faint hints of citrus, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly grassy-spicy and a little metallic finish. Almost medium-bodied, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Not very remarkable, rather boring Kölsch. Alaaf!
Tap (Some Hotel, Cologne) (5:3:5:3:11=2.7)
Light sweetish lagery aroma. Smooth palate. Perfumey floral taste, still a bit lagery. Finish has lots of tannins, plenty of black tea.
Bottle from the Offie, Leicester. Light golden and clear with a large amount of visible carbonation. No head. There's not a lot of aroma. A touch of hay, some papery notes. Sweet taste with a touch of bitterness in the aftertaste. Short to medium finish. There isn't a lot in this, but it's decent enough.
Disclaimer: I was brought up on Altbier, so Kölsch was always out of scope by definition. I tried my very best by sampling a fair number of Kölsch, but I cannot get it. Among the Kölsch I tried, Dom appears to me to be average.
Appearance: Light golden, slightly hazy. Some white head.

Bottle 50cl shared by Calisky. A clear yellow beer with low head. Nose is low on grassy hops. Aroma is on grain, wet paper, thin body, watery, metallic, some vegetable notes. Very boring.
Many thanks for this bottle to kevnic2008. Piwo o sredniej ale nawet trwalej piance. Kolor zlocisty, i klarowny. W zapachu niewiele mozna wyczuc jakby suszone siano tylko. Smak zwykly delikatny i musujaco orzezwiajacy.
