Sweetwater Georgia Brown pours a reddish dark brown with a minimal head. The aroma is of malt. I get lots of caramel and nuttiness with hints of banana in the aroma. The flavor is again malty, with plenty of caramel and nuttiness, but with a hint of chocolate malt in place of the banana aroma. The body is relatively thin for such a malty beer; perhaps this is due in part to the very light carbonation. There is a very slight bittering quality in the drink that fades quickly, leaving a malty taste in the mouth.

I just bought some Schlafly Summer Kölsch for a Friday afternoon of hanging around at work. We’ve been trying to enjoy ourselves a little more at the office and relax for a change. I figured I might as well try some new beers while someone else is buying.
I also tend to write way to much in these beer reviews. I’m going to try to keep it under control from here on out, if I don’t I think I’ll stop writing reviews because they take too long.
Summer Kölsch pours a pale golden color with an average head. The aroma is sweet like orange blossom honey and smells a bit like freshly picked grapes. The flavor is light, lemony malt. The bitterness is light but more than I expected for a kölsch, but I haven’t had one in Köln in 5 years, so I’m not sure how good my memory is. The body is light and the carbonation is fine bubbles and tingles the tongue. This is definitely an easy drinking summer beer.
