The Growler Kölsch is a twist on the classic Kölsch from Cologne, having a crisp malty flavor and subtle refreshing notes of German hops. But don’t let it’s light color fool you – the flavor runs deep and is more complex than meets the eye. As a lagered ale, this beer maintains the flavor of an ale, but also has a clean refreshing lager finish. The best of both worlds!
