Kölsch (85)

This style hales from Cologne (Koln), Germany and is also the word for a dialect of German spoken there. In 1986 the Kolsch Konvention was signed into law by 24 brewers and the German government, in order to protect the name “Kolsch” and only allow beer brewed in Cologne to use this label. The document was developed by The Cologne Brewing Organizaton (Kölner Brauerei Verband). Kolsch beers are often mistaken for a Blonde Ale, Pale Lager, or Pilsner due to their appearance and flavour. They are pale to light gold in colour with medium carbonation. Malt flavour is typically low and medium hop bitterness. Some subtle fruity flavours may be present and the finish is typically dry which can make the beer seem more bitter. Alcohol usually ranges from 4-6% and IBUs from 20-30.

A light colored version of the Alt Beer. This beer uses an ale type yeast at lager-like temperatures. What results is a smooth, almost fruity beer that is pleasing to the palate.

This Kolsch-style ale is light and crisp for those who enjoy a more mellow beer. It is brewed with a gentle addition of Noble hops, presenting a pleasant herbal and spicy aroma, and then cold conditioned for a clean finish.
