Creemore Springs Mad & Noisy Lagered Ale Kölsch at 4.7% ABV (C$3.57 at NLC Stavanger, 473 ml, packaged on 11-Apr-2017, acquired 29-Jul-2017, reviewed 30-Jul-2017)
Appearance: clear straw with one finger of fluffy white head, decent retention and moderate lacing. (4/5) Aroma: grainy malt, grassy hay, leafy greens, light citrus. (6/10) Taste: moderate-low sweet, mild bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, off-dry crisp clean finish. (4/5)
I wasn’t expecting much, but this is actually not a bad little Kölsch. Aromas are a little uninspiring, with not much to distinguish from a standard Pale Lager, but it tastes nicely balanced and finishes crisp and clean. You could do a lot worse! (14/20)
