Hollywood Blonde
by admin on Dec.15, 2008, under ale, beer, hybrid beer, kölsch, lager
Background: Okay, I have to admit that I'm a bit biased against this beer based simply on the name of the company that made it. The Great Beer Company makes this Kölsch-style beer. I'm all for great beer, but it's a bit presumptuous on their part.
Appearance: Light gold, thin white head.
Nose: Biscuity malt, light appley notes.
Taste: Medium noble hop character, a bit of wheat, a bit too sweet.
Overall: Slightly boring, needs less sweetness to get the crisp mouthfeel. Decent attempt, I suppose, but it falls short of greatness and isn't something I feel a need to have again.
