Central City Brewers + Distillers Mayor Kolsch Kölsch at 5.0% ABV (C$6.75 at Sundance Wine Market, 650 ml, bottle date 25-Oct-2012)
Appearance: slightly hazy pale straw with one finger of loose white head, good retention and patchy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: light citrus, white pepper, wheat, light floral. (4/10) Taste: moderate sweet, mild bitter, mild pepper. (4/10) Palate: light body, moderate carbonation, off-dry tart finish. (3/5)
Meh. Not much of a kölsch – more of a straight-up pale lager. Really the only nod to the style is a slight peppery note in the finish. Not a lot of character. (10/20)
