May0
It's beer... It's light..
Type of beer: Kolsch
Cost: $4.99
ABV: Not listed on the bottle (but didn’t feel that high)
Amount: 500mL (16.9 fl oz)
This beer was actually originally purchased as a “possibility” for our toasting beer at the wedding. We have some beautiful pilsner glasses that were actually given to us as a house warming gift when we bought our house in 2007. These glasses haven’t actually been used yet… So when we decided to get married, we thought that this would be a great time to break out the glasses. If only we could figure out a cool beer to pour into said beautiful glasses.
Hence, the purchase of this beer.
I will be honest, Mike and I don’t usually “do” light beers. Porter and stouts? Sure! Pilsners and lagers? …
This was a tough beer for me to want to purchase.
Initially, I served it a little too cold. It had that gross light beer taste that I usually try and avoid. I liken the “gross beer” taste to that of Bud Light, or something like that. However, as it warmed up, I was pleasantly surprised. The beer lost that “gross taste” and turned into something that I wouldn’t mind drinking if temperatures in Seattle ever got above 90 degrees. It was light and crisp without any kind of aftertaste (again, only after it warmed up a bit).
I drank this beer while eating some delicious steak and spinach with mushrooms. It balanced the heaviness of the steak and cream in the spinach.
Who would have thought that I would pay attention to that?
The verdict… In regards to using this beer as a wedding beer… It just won’t happen. It isn’t that this beer is a bad choice, I am just not a light beer kind of gal. Most likely, we will end up with the delicious pumpkin porter.
