ADVENTURE GRAPEFRUIT WHEAT

Beers A-Z
Infusing tangy grapefruit juice and bitter grapefruit rind into brewers' Americanized hefeweizen, Backpack Wheat, totally alters flavor profile. Backpack's lemony orange-peeled banana sweetness gets overrun by hefty grapefruit influence. Like a smoothly pale-lagered Kolsch, mild citrus hop bittering, delicate wheat-dried pilsner malting and wispy green grape esters provide easygoing flow. Image result for ADVENTURE BREWING

BARRIER ICCULUS KOLSCH

Beers A-Z
On tap at Burger Loft, fantastic light-bodied joy retains crisply soft-toned citric spritz above cracker-like pale wheat malt base and grassy hop musk. Brisk lemon-orange zest spreads across Bosc pear neutrality, juicy tangerine tang and mandarin orange tease in a simple, yet wholly effective, manner. Best Kolsch: 2015. Barrier Money IPA with Nectarines and Cascade Beer

KENTUCKY KOLSCH

Beers A-Z
Sour yellow-fruited Saaz hop astringency and meager white-breaded sourdough spine too thin for musty dry-bodied moderation. Murky lemony orange tartness picks up bubbly champagne  grape esters and rotted green apple wisp over acrid straw-hay parch. Salty carbolic tingle underscores slim citric setting.

SHOREBILLY 410 KOLSCH

Beers A-Z
Delightful hybridized German-styled moderation (brewed by Tall Tales) brings wintry dark-roasted mocha malting of a typical altbier to the soft-focus dried fruiting of a subtle summery kolsch. Large black licorice contingent rules the roost until sugared fig, dry plum and unripe prune illusions reach the fore. Small boardwalk-bound brewers' flagship offering certainly qualifies for the big time.
