Kölsch |  5.30% ABV

Availability: Summer. bottle (240), on-tap (17), can (1)

Notes:
Alaskan Summer Ale balances a softly malted palate with the clean freshness of hops. In the tradition of the style, neither overpowers the other. Both hops and malt come together to refresh and renew the palate. The straw-gold color and easy drinkability are an enjoyable way to celebrate summer.

look: 4.25 | smell: 2.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Nice golden-amber color, thin fizzy head. Color runs just a bit darker than some other Kolsches.

Smell is quite restrained... almost to the point of absence. Some faint grain and maybe some damp hay. But not much.

Some dry, honey-like malt is followed by a bit of spicy/citric hop. A little brief puckery sour chases the aftertaste, preceeding a gentle and clean bitter hop bite.

Nice crisp and dry mouthfeel.

I've not been super keen on Kölsch in the past, but I'm starting to come around and Alaskan Summer Ale has not hurt that process.
