Found the first Kolsch in FL to come close to being what it should be and it's from the LHBS/brewery I've been going to for years.
If they softened the water and balanced the bitterness a little it would just about perfect. It wouldn't surprise me if they've found my recipe or pulled it from my purchasing habits because it's very close to mine.
I was very happy to drink a decent kolsch for once. There are several around town that just don't understand the style and make a boring blonde ale.
