On tap at Ambulance, well-defined kolsch unites brisk lemon spritz with tart orange juicing and bittersweet grapefruit tang above its white-floured bread crust base. Soapy floral-dried grassy hop astringency deepens the dry side against lightly creamed pale malt sugaring.

SINGLECUT STRICTLY HAND-HELD HONEY KOLSCH
BALLAST POINT TART PEACH KOLSCH
On tap at Growlers To Go – Duck, hybridized kolsch allows tart peach essence to expand above light pilsner malting. Lemon-soured peach tang gains mildly vinous green grape esters and slight vanilla extract bittering. In the recess, strawberry rhubarb tartness elevates piquant peach regalia.
RABBIT HOLE 561 KOLSCH
Blandly pleasant pilsner-malted dry body (dedicated to Dallas Stars hockey legend, Mike Modano) lets sour lemon rot seep into dank Perle/ Tettnang hop musk, raw maize-oats parch and murky floral citrus sweetness without much pizzazz.
RAHR & SONS PALETA DE MANGO
On tap at Brass Tap, spritzy chili-peppered mango adjunct lavishes lemon-limed spicing and subtle pale malting. Juicy mango succulence tails off a tad, as does the peppery heat.
SIXPOINT KOLD SCHAUER
Easy quenchin’ Kolsch-styled moderation with light lager mouthfeel lets sea-salted lemon rot souring, hay-grassed barnyard astringency and musky hop oiling desiccate sour-candied grapefruit and yellow grape tartness in stylish fashion.
CLOWN SHOES MANGO KOLSCH
On tap at The Oath, rapturous mango juicing lacquers sour lemon twang and syrupy peach sweetness. Mildly creamed full-tilt mango adjunct gains floral-perfumed papaya, guava and nectarine tang. Mild herbal hop oiling reinforces honeyed mango stickiness.
OAK HIGHLANDS GUAVA GOOD KOLSCH
Breezy springtime moderation reliant on spiced guava tartness. At clean midst, modest guava influence enjoined by tropical mango, kiwi and papaya whims over bready lager malts and dry earthen murk.
THREES AFTER DAWN KOLSCH
On tap at Ambulance, “bright,” crisp, enduring kolsch brings brisk white grape-juiced lemon zest to the fore as its lightly salted doughy bottom forms below the soft-watered mist. Delicate orange marmalade, curacao orange, grapefruit and pineapple illusions caress its lemondrop finish. The perfect kolsch has arrived.
2ND ACT HOUSE KOLSCH
On tap at Shepherd & Knucklehead – Hoboken, brisk lemony grapefruit tang embittered further by dry wood-toned grassy hop astringency. Wispy sauvignon blanc-like white wining whittles away some citric acidity.
VON TRAPP KOLSCH
On tap at Ambulance, sessionable limited edition (2017) summer ale plies sour lemon musk to grassy Noble-hopped astringency and white-breaded biscuit malting. Polite lemon souring and funky herbal whim easily outdistance contrasting white peach and mandarin orange piquancy.
YONKERS UNITED KOLSCH
On tap at Growler & Gill, underwhelming summertime moderation lets raw-honeyed lemon souring gain musky grouting and muted Chardonnay buttering above frail wheat-dried sourdough backbone.
