Peace Tree Brewing Sidekick Kolsch

The Peace Tree Brewing Company is in Knoxville, Iowa. This is, as far as I know, their only canned offering, and this one is brewed and canned for them by Cold Spring in Cold Spring, Minnesota.

The beer pours yellow golden with a tinge of haze. There is a tall head of thick and ragged white foam that leaves some layers of equally ragged lacing down the glass. The aroma is grassy, straw, lightly sweet golden grain, with a bit of lager-ish funk. The taste follows the aromas directly; grassy, grainy and very enjoyable. It has a moderately bitter finish, a touch dry. It is smooth, with enough carbonation to add some crisp refreshment. Excellent.
