German hops give an earthy aroma and flavor. Pilsner malt provides mild malty sweetness. Light body and high effervescence.

tap at the brewery - Listed as Special "K" Kolsch, 5.8% abv, 14 IBUs. Pours clear yellow and has a light, fruity aroma. The flavor is of sweet bready malt with some mild bitterness. It’s light bodied and decent for the style.
