We’ve got a heat wave here in the fine state of New Jersey. This weekend it’s suppose to be close to 80. Alright maybe not a heat wave but still I think it’s about time to crack a few of Stoudts Brewing Co.’s Karnival Kolsh’s. Happy times kids. Now I’ll be 100% honest with you all, because that’s the kind of guy I am. Before drinking this beer I’d had a total of 0 Kolsh’s. Or at least that I remember. I’m sure at some tour or tasting I’ve tried one but never actually picked up a six pack. But about a month ago on a bus trip put on by The Pony I had a chance to try Stoudt’s Kolsh and I was happy, mighty happy. The Pony, bringing people together. Isn’t that sweet?

The aroma is somewhat grassy with some hops poking in. Sounds strange I know but it’s pretty good. Like a fresh cut field with booze in it. Sounds nice doesn’t it? The taste reminds me a lot of sour dough bread. I love sour dough bread. Just a note in case you’re looking to get me a gift of the food kind. A little bit of the hops coming in but not much. Very light and refreshing so you can easily down a 6 of these and not blink an eye. I think you might have a problem. I’ve read some other reviews of this beer and a lot of people say it’s a bit off for a Kolsch but I don’t give a crap. I like it just good so whoever doesn’t is a jackass and is wrong about everything in the world. There I said it.
