Somewhat peculiar stylistic variant, part of Reverie’s rotating fruited kolsch series, lets zestful limey raspberry spritz take on questionable botanical cologne musk, clean celery crisping and cucumber-watered watermelon rind snip over thicker than expected honeyed malt bottom.

On tap at Taphouse 15, dry straw-yellowed light body stays too subtle as slightly soured champagne-sparkled green grape tannins seep into grassy hop stead at washed-out pilsner malt base. Suited to mellower sessionable thirsts.
On tap at Plank Pizza, soft-tongued moderation stays sturdy as sour lemon musk infiltrates grassy meadow and dried maize stead, picking up slight herbage. An above average New Jersey Devils inspired brew.
On tap at Ambulance, dry lemon spritz and recessive gooseberry-passionfruit salting reach peaty mineral grained earthen bottom. A tad unconventional for a simple pilsner-malted kolsch due to slightly sourer fruiting.
Combining dry Hallertau-hopped green grape esters with sharp Amarillo-hopped lemon candied yellow grapefruit tang gives offbeat kolsch a sour IPA twist while retaining stylishly crisply clean pilsner-malted white bread bottom.

On tap at Triton -Beach Haven, dry-hopped kolsch collab with fellow Vermont brewery, Upper Pass, wrings persistent champagne-dried lemon musk, sedate clementine oiling and grassy hop herbage out of white breaded pilsner malt moderation.
Dry lemon musk, sweetly soured apple scruff and mild Perle hopped floral herbage condensed over sourdough-daubed honeyed Vienna malt base of straightforward kolsch.
Slightly sour lemon seeded musk gains herbal lemongrass licks, grassy hop astringency and salty spice spec over wet-grained sourdough breading for OK kolsch.
On tap at Paragon, fine crisply centrist kolsch utilizes cereal-grained Belgian pilsner malts and honeyed Vienna malts to anchor lemon-dropped Saaz/Hallertau-hopped herbage. Mild banana sweetness and wispy champagne esters sneak in.
Brisk ultra-clean, cold fermented German-style kolsch (formerly labeled a golden ale and marketed since the nineties) brings spritzy lemon zesting, herbal lemongrass zing and tonic-like phenol spicing to bready malt base for easygoing summertime quencher.
