I believe this is the best Weeping Radish beer. I am a dark beer lover, but their black radish wasn't that great, maybe it had to do with the batch or something..tasted metallic. Almost seemed like a production issue. But anyways, I like Kolschs, so it was good to give this one a try.

Purchased at Food Lion at Food Lion in Emerald Isle, NC.

Smell is a little hoppy, sweet, grassy.

Taste is a little sweeter than other Kolschs. Very crisp, with a bit of apple. Some lemon

Mouthfeel isn't that great. Nice, but not enough body.

With everything said, it is a pretty good beer. Rather unique.

A: Brilliantly transparent with a burnished gold colored body. Thin white head that doesn't lace very well. Lots of large carbonation bubbles. The beer looks very nice.

S: It has a familiar pilsner-like smell to the beer. Some grain, some peanut butter scent, a little bit of a rubber eraser smell, some muddled flower scent.

T: The beer has a lightly fruity flavor to it that stings the sides of the palate very pleasantly. Very pleasant fruity flavor, a bit pear-like with some lemon. There is a grain flavor to the beer as well, which is fantastic. A very good tasting Kölsch. No aftertaste.

M: The mouthfeel is light bodied, not much carbonation, and fairly wet. It's decent for the beer.

O: Overall I thought it was a really nice and refreshing beer. I would buy it again and I enjoyed drinking the one I had. The light fruity taste worked well with the grain flavors and made the beer complicated enough to enjoy, but not something with too much flavor. It would be a nice beer to have when mowing grass or having a picnic. The flavors are reminiscent of Spring.

A: Pours a crystal clear medium golden yellow with some brighter yellow highlights and moderate amounts of visible carbonation. The beer has a finger tall bright white head that reduces to a couple of small thin patches with a very thin film covering the majority of the surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of bready and cereal grain malts along with just a touch of grassy hops.

T: Moderate flavors of cereal grain and bready malts with some lighter notes of lemon citrus and just a touch of apple crispness. There is a light note in the finish of something metallic and just a hint of bitterness.

M: Just shy of medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Crisp.

O: Pretty easy and refreshing, this would be a great beach beer when you are out in the OBX - the hint of lemon makes this one a good thirst quencher.

A - bright yellow with a thin cap of loose, soft, white head that has decent retention

S - cereal grains, a bit musty

T - cereal grains, lemon, a bit tart, grassy

M - light to medium bodied, well carbonated

This is a light, easy drinking beer that is perfect for hot days. It's a bit fruity and slightly tart, but enjoyable nonetheless.

22oz bottle, poured into a stemmed lager glass. Pours a dark gold with a luscious off-white head as a capper. This froth retained well, leaving bits of lace clinging to the glass. The nose on this one is very "green" and vegetable-like. Mild herbal aromas with a touch of fruit on the finish.

Moderately carbonated beer with plenty of zip where it matters. Crisp and clean. Flavors of sweet apples, green leafies, and a mild hop presence make this beer a refreshing treat. Light bitterness, and light alcohol make it accessible and satisfying. This beer gives credence to an otherwise sub-bar brewery.

look: 2 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 2 | feel: 3 | overall: 2.5

Pours a very cloudy dirty amber with a mostly tight off white head and a few large bubbles. The nose offers some interesting aromas that don't work together well. There is some stale bread, light dough, sulfer seltzer like arome, and bitter fruity hop, bananas and berries but light. The flavor is harsh, it is extremely stale and very dry bread like. The sulfer is still there, the hop presence is the bright point with some juicy citrus in the back but the sulfer and bitterness make it very off putting. the body is light, a hint oily, good carbonation. A little rough, not aweful but a bit bad.

look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

Pours a slightly bronzed sunny-golden-yellow color, total clarity, and a head that is white but wispy, dying down quickly. Leaves small vertical splats of lace on the glass.

Smell is mostly that not-unappealing metal-meets-bread vibe of typical German lagers of various sorts. A kind of sulfur-ish element with that white bread/biscuit graininess, and a slight hint of white grape.

It doesn't taste quite as nice as it smells, lacking depth and certainly lacking the kind of pleasing bitterness of an authentic German kolsch. It's nice enough though, bready but light in the malt department, pils-like and lemony in the hops area, with a dab of white grape juice in there. Feels good enough, amply carbonated and remarkably slick, just about right for this kind of beer without wowing or anything. Finishes sort of dry and metallic.

This is quite okay. Goes down nice and easy on a hot, humid day, but it's not gonna be anyone's best introduction to this oft-brewed, rarely-nailed style. Pretty much gotta go to the fatherland for that.

A- Poured a clear yellow/ orange color. Three plus fingers of clean white head. The head stayed very long than subsided to a thin layer of bubbles, with no lacing at all.

S- Grassy hops, citrus and grains as soon as the top came off. After the pour, some nice mild spice, too.

T- The grassy hops shine at the start. The end is more of the citrus and malts. No bites or bitterness. I couldn’t detect any of the metallic finish others have mentioned.

M- Very light body and good carbonation.

D- After a ton of odd jobs around the house, on a very hot, humid day this was just what I wanted. So refreshing I wanted more. I guess I’ll just need to get back to NC area for more.

A: pours dark yellow-orange, a finger of bubbly short lasting white head.
S: lightly sweet, a bit grainy, hops are a touch grassy and minty
T: again a bit grainy, a bit sweet, hops are lightly bitter as well as grassy.
M: seems a little thick, but carbonation is good.
O: if it was a hot day that was spent gardening it would be really refreshing. A good beer from a new brewery for me.
