Cape Ann Brewing Company's Fisherman's Ale

Probably the most vastly underrated style, Kolsch also happens to be one of my favorites. This one pours an intensely clear deep yellow with a hint of orange. Great crisp white head with good carbonation. This one just looks like it's going to be crisp and light, like it should be.

Great light malt smell with a complete absence of hops, as it should be. Slightly sweet, just because the malt is all there is.

Yep. Just right. Light feel made even lighter by the fairly high carbonation, with a bitterness that comes out in the taste, but is mild at best. It's indistinct, not overpowering, and secondary to the overall malt flavor that retains the slight sweetness. Great lawnmower beer, and one of the best Kolsch's I've had. Wish it was available in Texas.
