Welcome, yes I know it has
been a while since the last beer review. That is because I have been busy with
home repairs and a vacation, but now I am back with yet another beer to review.
This is a North Carolina beer, from Weeping Radish (Farmbrew, LLC) in Jarvisburg
on the North Carolina outer banks way up near the Virginia state boarder. This
is OBX 6.0% ABV, a Kölsch Style. This is a German warm-fermented style of beer that
originated in Cologne Germany. OBX pours a gold straw like color with a one and
a half finger tight white head that dissipates rather quickly, leaving a thin
ring of white on the sides. This beer is not bad on lacing either. There are
some nice amounts of light coming through the glass with a nice stream of
carbonation bubbles racing from the bottom of the glass. The aroma is of grains
and a semi-sweetness that smells a bit sticky. I also found a hint of a biscuit
like scent. But the all aromas are on the lighter yet crisp side. The taste is
light with a very light sweet grain taste that is refreshing and crisp. There
is a very light yet faint hop character among the other taste of this OBX, but
nothing extreme. I did find this to have a good carbonation bubbly feel to it
that adds to the nice crisp refreshment. OBX has a nice clean, crisp, and refreshing
finish, that leads into a nice mildly sweet and a light bubbly hop aftertaste.
This OBX Kölsch didn’t really blow my taste buds away, but it did go over well
with them. This is a nice choice for a
warmer day, and would be okay for the springtime season. So I am giving this a
C+, just a hair above average by me. I wouldn’t pass this over if it were the
only craft Kölsch I could have, and yes I would have OBX again, but that is
hard, because it is only sold local, at the brewpub and on their website. I do
recommend this to larger, pilsner, and lighter beer lovers. Don’t worry I do
have more reviews coming very soon! Cheers Please enjoy responsibly!
