Cologne Germany style Kolsch
64 oz Growler
You don’t see this German style very often. So, I had to try it when I saw it. Kolsch is normally served in a cylindrical
glass – also called a stange or pole glass.
Traditionally, this beer would be drunk from smaller glasses due to the
beers deteriorating flavor as it warms up in the glass.
Appearance: misty yellow-gold with a white head and not much
on the lacing
Aroma: nice summertime white fruity notes and white bread
Flavors: light
summertime white fruit – reminding me of pear and white peach; fresh dough,
hard water, light grains, and maybe fuggle hops for a fresh hoppy feel and a
slight dry finish.
Mouthfeel: crisp, fresh, light tasty grains on the
aftertaste. There is a fine fizzy
carbonation feel. It seems perfect for a
hot summer day. I like this beer.
To the Point: I have only had a couple of Kolsch style beers
but, this is tasty. From what I read
about the Kolsch style it seems pretty true to its style; simple, lightly
fruity, easy to drink, refreshing, yellow-gold in color. I have to give them an A+ for keeping it true
to its style.
