Handwritten notes: Another Kölsch so soon. It is interesting to note the comparison between this and the Summit Kölsch. This one does leave the American hops up front, but gives way to a fruity body. The transition is there, from dewy-grassed morning to radiating heat. It is also strange to me that it seems like I had a million-and-one porters & stouts in summer and now it is frickin stout weather and I have some summery brews. Oh well. Drink and learn, I guess.
