2.6 Bottle. Pours pale yellow with fizzy white head. Aroma is biscuit and pale malts, grassy and light fruit notes, and light floral notes. Flavor is dry malts and grassy notes; dry finish. Light body and medium carbonation.

2.4 Bottle. Tastes lime light malt and musk. Not a great flavor. Light body and low carbonation. Smells musky.

1.8 Yellow pour with a soapy white head. Sweet malt nose and weak malt flavor. Nothing really going on with this. Bland and boring.

2.4 Bottle 0.33l at home. Originally rated 26062012. Colour is clear yellow with small head. Aromas and flavours: Grain, sweetness and malts.

1.1 A - Pours hazy golden with a white head that dissipates very quickly. S - Lemony grass, grainy malt, some buttery vegetal. T - Faint hops and lemon up front, tangy fruity yeast, muted grainy malt, finishes with a mild bitterness and an unpleasant aftertaste. M - Heavy side of medium, low carbonation. This taste old and there’s something in there that’s just not right. Buy a single before getting a whole six pack of this. Serving type: bottle 08-21-2011

1.8 A light yellow pour with white head. A strong malty aroma and flavor. Finishes slightly bitter. An OK beer that I wouldn’t have again.

2.3 Bottle from Canals. Drank last year when the freshest batch was out. This thing isn’t as bad as the reviews but nowhere near a beer I would purchase again for U.S. currency. Clear golden color with lifeless head and carbonation. Flavors are more bland then most. Only thing I can pick up is light honey, malt, and maybe a spec of hops. This beer is suitable for cooking but not much else imo

2.1 Golden straw colour, not much aroma at all. When I saw "golden ale" I thought this would be a duvel style beer, boy was I disappointed. Nothing special here.

2.7 Pretty good beer. The taste is maybe not the best. The aroma is good. The aftertaste is thin. But it goes anyways to drink.

3.1 Flat scent, mostly of apple juice. Taste is also subtle, mildly tart, fizzy. Not much happening here, but not a bad beer.

3.0 Drinkable but nothing outstanding. Everything about this beer is pretty average.

3.3 Bottle 12 oz. Pours clear amber with a nice off white head leavin laces. Aroma is malty grainy sweet fruity caramel hints of raisins bready. Flavor is sweet malty a bit acidy fruity hay hoppy bitter citric. Finishes bitter sweet and malty.

3.1 Kolsch is a pretty difficult style to do well an for a long time I had never had a good American variety. This wasn’t the first. Bready, citrus, and water.

3.0 Pours a cloudy amber with suspended particles in the glass. Theres a pleasant & slightly sweet aroma. Bland and simple taste with no carbonation, very flat but very drinkable. There is a faint heineken taste in there somewhere. Very nice session beer nothing special at all but its what your typical middle of the road beer should be, drinkable & easy going.

3.2 #559 Hellgelb mit schnell verflogenem Schaum. Ein leicht fruchtiges (Citrus-Melone) Aroma. Limonadig malzig-süßer Antrunk, der durch den herberen Abgang abgepuffert wird. Gut trinkbar, auch wenn ich mir nicht sicher bin, ob alle Zutaten auf dem Label stehen... Test vom 10.2.2010, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,9,10,10,10,10 - 9,75

2.2 By far not my favorite. Light straw color, crystal clear. Not much going on here. A disappointment.

2.4 Bottle. Pours pale golden mostly clear with fine white head. Aroma is malt with some hops and honey. Not what I expect from Koelsch at all. Taste is malt and hops, with some honey and grass tones. Disappointing.

2.8 Works alot like a regular lager, maybe a little darker in colour and a bit hoppier than some of the other beers in the region, however all in all not to special.

2.5 Lightly toasty malt aroma. Hazy yellow with mild effervescence. Doughy sweet that’s kolsch like but not sharp enough. Chewy and not as biting as the name suggests.

2.7 Pale blond colour. Mild aroma, a bit grassy. Flavour is plain. Lightly grainy, fresh and a bit sugary sweet. Clean but bland.

2.9 355ml. Bottle. Poors clear yellow with tiny white head. Aroma sweet malts, bread. Taste little bitter, little sweet. Mouth-feel thin. Ok golden ale. Not the best.

2.3 Mamma mia che delusione....mi aspettavo qualcosa di fatto bene da Flying dog invece senza i soliti IBU niente di buono....birra piatta con pochi profumi, un maltato preponderante, una dolcezza quasi invadente....non di certo la migliore Flying Dog

2.4 Pours a golden yellow from the bottle with thin white head and little to no lacing. Aroma of light, bready grain and corn. Taste follows suit...kolschs taste too much shitty pale lagers. But just like those, they seem to be better out of the bottle.

2.5 Not much aroma. Hint of sweet flavor but otherwise pretty bland. Very light and just a typical bland golden ale.

3.0 Light gold, thin body. Slight bitterness, flat malts. Straw qualities. Not a great kolsh, but not bad.

2.6 Pours gold with a thin white head that leaves some lacing. The aroma is lacking. The taste, while not exploding with flavor, is very clean and crisp. It’s fairly light in body and quite smooth. It’s a decent refreshing summer brew. It’s by no means extraordinary but certainly drinkable and very sessionable.

3.5 Really enjoyed this beer has a nice bitter finish. It’s one ill keep in the fridge to give a friend.

3.1 (bottle). Golden yellow complexion with white head. Significant carbonation with little to no lacing. A mIld malt ale with some yeast notes. Not a great example from this brewer.

2.7 Bottle into a goblet. Dark yellow pour with next to no head. Taste is of hop and bitter, with a nice finish. Bitter is the best in the after taste.

3.2 Clear golden color. Some head, not much. Smell is malt, wheat, barley, yeast and citrus. Taste much the same. Not a familiar style, but definitely enjoyable.
