Captain Lawrence's Kolsch poured a semi-hazy, straw yellow color with a thumb width, frothy white head.  The aroma is really nice, pale malt, with some herbs (mint?), and a little faint citrus.  The body has light carbonation, a pale malt base that is thicker up front and then dies out a bit, a quick grassy note that appears and then is gone, and some lime notes.  The finish has a light yeasty dryness and a few lemon notes.  Overall, this is a fantastic summer beer.  It is light and refreshing, and so unbelievably easy drinking without comprimising any flavor.  It could use just a little more dryness on the finish to balance out the citrus notes but is still one of my favorites for the hot, sticky weather.       

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
