Gaffel kolsch

"The laws protecting the brewing of kolsch are as strict as the German Purity Law of 1516. Kolsch beer can only be brewed within the city of Cologne. As the best-known kolsch brewery, Gaffel’s flavor is derived from an ale yeast that is "lagered" (or aged) in cold cellars. Gaffel is pale, faintly fruity with a crisp, hop finish."
My first Kolsch.

Pale yellow in colour, light carbonation, small fluffy white head that diminishes soon.    
Its got a very faint aroma of lemon and floral notes from the hops. Its crisp, light, but very little else, not unpleasant or bad - just not very exciting though.
