In the city of Cologne they drink and brew Kolsch Beer and the brewers’ guild has protected it since 1254. Kölsch is a top-fermented ale, a throwback to the days before lagers took over the Germanic world. Kölsch offers the simple pleasures of a well crafted beer. It is very pale, the aromatics are a light mélange of hops, malt, and fruit. The Kölsch Beer maintains a bitterness that is quite restrained, although the palate is light-bodied and bone-dry, with a soft malt flavor in the center giving way to a drying, slightly acidic finish. Smoothness is conferred by one to two months of cold conditioning. Kölsch makes an excellent replacement for Stella Artois beer drinkers! Subtle flavors with a unique yeast strain direct from Cologne make this an authentic Kölsch style beer.

500 ml bottle. Aroma is bready sweet malt, grainy. Pours clear golden with a one finger bone white head that falls into a skiff and ring of foam pretty quickly. Taste is moderately sweet with light hop bitterness. Great creamy mouthfeel. I’ll never be a big fan of the Kolsch style, but if someone forced me to drink one at gunpoint, I’d probably pick this.

Draft pour pint ay Hop and Hound. Surprised to see I haven't had this one. Top 50 Kolsch, which is awesome. Go WA brewers! A very light pale golden pour. Plenty of straw aroma, and clean. Dry flavor, but remains refreshing. Crisp, cracker and straw grains. In that order. Enjoyed this one. Solid kolsch.

Not bad, fairly traditional, though a touch sweet. Easy drinking, but not remarkable.
