The kolsch came out with a clear straw yellow, topped by a small white head. Very subtle beer in all aspects - aroma had the slightest hint of spice and malt. Pretty much ditto for the quaff, except for a pop of resinous wood in the finish. Bright and clean, it's a very easy going beer.

A standard kolsch, it misses a bit with the winter tempatures and climate. It will work much better in the summer STL heat.

Serving type: on-tap

on tap at the brew pub. part of the 3 ounce sampler.

The Kolsch pours a clear golden color with no head whatsoever. Smell is very refreshing with plenty of oranges and malts. Taste is spot on. A nice hop finish that is preceded with grapes, oranges, and malts. This is a really good tasting kolsch. Mouthfeel is thin and refreshing. Drinkability is solid. Will look to this in the future.

Pours a clear, pale golden color. 1/4 inch head of a white color. Decent retention and slight lacing. Smells of sweet malt, slight pale malt, yeast, and slight hops. Fits the style of a Kolsch. Mouth feel is smooth and crisp with an average carbonation level. Tastes of pale malt, slight sweet malt, yeast, slight hop, and a grain dryness. Overall, a rather well balanced beer, no overpowering dryness, light, and refreshing.

A: Typical yellow. OK head, nice rention.

S: It's a Kolsch. Not much nose, but did pick up some honey.

T: You can tell it's a Kolsch from the yeast. No cheating here! Some sweetness, finishes nice and crisp. A bit of green apple, or pear picked up also.

M: Again, crisp, light, very slight citrus bitterness at the back.

D: Can't wait until a 90 degree STL summer day for this. Schlafly maker an awesom Kolsch here locally. Six-Row is at least on it's heals. Nicely done.
