Free Will Community Kolsch

It's nice having a decent beer stock, but every now and then, I go to pick out a beer, only to realize that most of my selection is somewhat monotone.  Like now, for instance, much of my stock is some version of a pale ale/IPA.  One of the few beers I have that falls outside of that umbrella is the Free Will Kolsch:


Vittles:
Kolsch
4.8% abv

Score:
Appearance: 8/10
Aroma: 21/25
Taste: 33/40
Mouthfeel: 8/10
Style: 5/5
Drinkability: 8/10
Overall: 83/100

Impression:
The aroma leads with a crackery/biscuity scent, followed closely by a light fruitiness and a hint of fresh grass.  The flavors have a bit of a grassy bent to them, and the malt and hops are nicely balanced.  The fruitiness is a little more apparent on the tongue than in the nose.  It finishes mildly dry with very little lingering aftertaste.  This seems like a solid, by the book Kolsch.  I could find this beer enjoyable year round.

Cheers!
