the diet effects, the flavor and color in a huge way. think spring honey (clear and lightly flavored) and fall honey (dark and minerally from goldenrods) -
for beer the darker, more strongly flavored honey stands up better against malt. for meads the lighter honey is a much safer bet because you don't generally want the mineral flavors from darker honey.

i woudl bet my left hand that you would like that kolsch more with a darker, stronger flavored honey.
-
all the beautiful, nuanced flavors the orange blossoms give off are covered up by the malt.
-
citrus honey makes killer meads though.

Maybe try splitting the batch at that point and using two different honeys.
