Mild blood orange tartness flutters as musty lemon, tannic white grape, hot buttered cider and raspberry rhubarb illusions stay recessive atop frail white bread base of tepid citrus-infused moderation.

On tap at Growlers To Go – Duck, crisp light body lets dry lemon-dropped herbage, modest champagne sparkle and wispy cologne perfuming reach white breaded pilsner malts. Divergent Strata-hopped cannabis resin and guava-passionfruit licks (as opposed to usual lemon-herbed Hallerau-Tettnang variety) redirect classic easygoing kolsch profile.
Smoothly clean, slightly hopped-up kolsch takes musky maize-dried lemon souring thru mild floral herbage and toasted mineral graining.
Salt-licked lemon souring coats grassy hopped floral herbage above mineral grained pilsner malting, picking up mild earthiness.
On tap at River Of Beer, dry champagne-salted fizz prickles mild lemony orange spicing and herbal respite above mineralized pilsner malting.
On tap at Hoover’s Tavern, crisp springtime golden kolsch with light frothy cream lets salty lemon spicing invite champagne grape spritz and light Tettnang hop herbage to grassy hop astringency over delicate white crackered pilsner malts.
On tap at Taphouse 15, highly touted dry kolsch allows sour lemon rot to penetrate peppery hop fizz and floral-daubed herbal spicing above crackery sourdough breading. ‘Cologne-styled’ moderation stays pleasantly effervescent, but its lemony souring may preclude some thirsts.
