3.5 Bottle online from Beers Of Europe. Pours a slightly hazy golden colour with a thin soapy looking white head. Aromas of grains, hay, bread, biscuits and honey. Taste is sweet grains, hay and biscuits with a slight metallic and earthy note lingering on the finish. Very malty with hardly any bitterness. Medium body with low carbonation. Not bad but a bit boring and i will not purchase again.
3.2 Bursztynowe z fajna piana ciągnącą się po szkle. W aromacie zbozowo i chlebowo, odrobinę kwaśne. W smaku zboże, karmel, nuty kwiatowe. Goryczka niska, nasycenie średnie, ciało niskie. W posmaku lekka goryczka i kwiaty. Bardzo rześkie.
3.2 Cask (Brauhaus Sion, Köln). Clear golden color. Grainy, mild hops, mellow in aroma/taste.
3.1 this is pretty good as a palate cleanser. I actually think this beer is a little underrated. has some grassy malt and generic pale lager flavors but they go down smooth. decent.
2.9 It pours golden and clear with a white head. Head retention is medium. It has grainy sweet aroma with an herbal quality and some grassiness. It is grainy sweet with an herbal and grass quality. There is slight fruitiness to it. It has a medium light body with a somewhat sweet aftertaste. Overall, the grass is a bit stronger than I would like which is equal to the herbal and grainy sweet qualities.
2.9 400ml draft, bar in Kruezberg. Light body but nice malt and grain flavor. Slightly sweet, herbaceous and some pepper. Soft. Some creaminess. Not bad.
2.8 Clear golden pour with a thin white head …. Aroma of grains, grass, light floral hops and caramel malts …. Taste is of sweet caramel malts, grainy, grass, light floral hops and dry crispness ….. finish is of grains, sweet caramel malts, wheat and a light dry grassy hop, some bitter floral hops … average but decent, sessionable
3.4 A bottle coming from Tanta Emmen, Paris. Opening it, in my hotel room, at Paris, gare de Lyon. A classical of classical, industrial but it is acceptable, a bit metalic, a bit rough with note of dry malt, mineral, not so aromatic with an interesting touch of honey and toffee, clasical extract of hop at the final
3.3 Eerste kölsch in jaren lekker licht Cafeetje in de Theaterstrasse Aachen

3.2 500ml bottle from Simply Local, Burntwood. Pours clear yellow, with a white head. Aroma: pale malts, white bread, toffee, floral hops. Taste: moderate sweet & light bitter, cereal, sweet grains, light herbal, grassy. Light to medium body with soft carbonation.
3.1 11.2oz bottle. Not that pleasant of an aroma, not so bad either I suppose. Bight and filtered, with a decent hop balance, but overall still has a factory tone. Drinkable, but not a prime example of the style.
2.8 500 ml bottle. Clear light golden, stable foamy head. Rather grainy and malty, hay and straw, citrus, a bit of marzipan. Dry bitterness, malty sweetness. Rather thin bodied, watery texture, lively carbonated, dry malty finish.
3.2 Bottle picked up at Harmon's. Pours clear straw golden with a small white head, light lacing. Straw, bready, honey, wet grass. Good
3.4 Fles 50cl thuis. Grassig, bitters, licht maltig, hoptonen, fris, diacetyl. (11-9-2020).
2.7 Pours clear amber with one finger, white head. Aroma is light caramel and light grass. Taste is light caramel, moving to light grass. Finish, sadly, is the same.
3.6 Lovely sweet aroma, light golden colour. Medium carbonation and light but satisfying taste. Very smooth and easy to drink.
1.9 Looks good, clear gold body with white head. Good grassy aroma. Falls into the toilet on the taste bad flat something like stale bread. Flat almost nothing finish.
2.5 La fameuse kolsch de Cologne. Translucide, légère, avec ses fines bulles servie dans son petit verre cylindrique 20 cl à la pression.
4.0 A nice and smooth Kölsch beer!
2.7 Złociste klarowne piwo z niezłą pianą. Aromat głównie słodowy w smaku podobnie plus trochę goryczki. Jak na kolscha brakuje akcentów owocowych
2.9 Pours a clear golden yellow on tap with bubbly white foam that leaves light lace on the way down. Aroma of light biscuit malts with a touch of floral hops and fruity yeast. Taste follows, light and clean, but a little too light. Not the best kolsch on the tour de koln.
3.0 On bottle at Hans im Glück, Wuppertal Germany. Pours golden into the glass with small white head. More bitter than the average Kölsch. Refreshing with a herbal finish.
3.4 Full bodied kolsch, clean and tasty. Drank relatively warm. But it has that slight peppery lager flavor. Bar paradox dresden

2.8 500ml bottle. Clear, yellow-ish, pale golden colour with average, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, snow-white head. Grainy, strawy, minimally musty, malty and rather plain, bitter hoppy aroma. Taste is slightly bitter and grassy hoppy, minimally strawy malty. Ordinary, "stinknormales" (common-or-garden) Kölsch.
