Full Circle by: New Holland Brewing


Kolsch-style beer
4.9% abv
12 oz bottle
New Holland Brewing
Holland, Michigan, USA

Here is what they have to say on their web site about this beer.
“The soft, well-rounded malt character, light hop profile and crisp finish bring us back around to the familiar tastes of classic, thirst quenching beer.”

Okay, a little ying and yang going on with the malts and hops but, nothing worth writing home about.  The flavors seem a little muted.  Nothing really standing out here.  The grassy, grainy taste seems dusty.  The hops are not distinct. 

I poured this beer with the bit of sediment on the bottom of the bottle and the body looks hazy (it’s clear if you do not pour the sediment in) gold.  It has a nice white head.  The aroma is light with a grainy nose. 

Drinking this beer by itself was boring at best.  For the second bottle I lit up a Padilla 68 Robusto Cigar and the beer seemed a little better being paired up with something. 

I won’t be looking to put this in my beer fridge again.
