Beer Review: PCBW Home Opener Kolsch

Serving Type: Draft

ABV: N/A

Appearance: Home Opener has a hazy, yellow body with a plethora of carbonation. The haziness gives the effect that this beer might have some heaviness to it despite its color.The head is very foamy and frothy.

Smell: The initial smell is very sweet and malty. Some hints of grassiness sneak their way in behind that. Some citrus scent makes it something pleasant to smell on a decently hot day.

Taste: Home Opener is mostly a sweet and citrus-like beer. The beer also features some hoppiness on the finish, which adds something bitter to the adventurous flavor. This is a great beer for after doing some yard work. A good thirst-quencher.

Overall Rating: 

This is one of the Pittsburgh Craft Beer Week collaboration beers that were brewed in time for the city's week-long celebration of local beers. Brewers from Rock Bottom Brewery at the Waterfront and from Penn Brewery collaborated to make this wonderful concoction. This is an awesome beer when it's hot outside or if you're really looking for something to beat the thirst.
