The Establishment Brewing Company My Best Friend’s Girl – Kölsch at 4.8% ABV (C$3.82 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 1-Apr-2020, acquired 15-Apr-2020, reviewed 21-Apr-2020)
Appearance: crystal clear bright straw with one fat finger of dense white head, excellent retention and well-defined soapy lacing. (5/5) Aroma: pome fruit, doughy yeast, grass. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter. (8/10) Palate: light body, lively carbonation, off-dry crisp finish. (4/5)
Yeah, yeah, I know, wrong glassware. All my Kölsch Stange are boxed up in my house in Newfoundland, and who knows when I’ll be back there again? As far as the beer goes, I always say that I’m not sophisticated enough to really appreciate the subtleties of some of the traditional styles, but damn, this is a nice little beer. I’ve been saying I want to go to Köln for ages, and this certainly reinforces that. Bright, refreshing, and clean. (16/20)
