Bottle into DB glass

A: blond golden ale with light head that quickly dissipates.

S: light malt with a heavy jasmine smell completely dominating the beer. Jasmine would work in a heavier style but not a German blonde.

T: the jasmine dominates the flavor. Not a good balance. Good try though BBC. Good to experiment though not the right style for the spice.

M: light which is expected for a Kolsch.

O: Too much jasmine too little kolsch. I like out of the box beers but this one over did it on the spice. Good idea bad execution.

smell is very flowery, with some dry lemon, jasmine, and yeast. taste is wheat and yeast, with flower incense, lemon, white bread, rose, spice, cinnamon rolls. light feel, cloying bitter finish.
