Cologne-style Kölsch || 4.5% || Willi Becher
Taste: Bread, Fruit, Biscuit
Notes: Medium in body with a soft mouthfeel and a straw yellow or pale gold color, Kölsch has a spicy, herbal Noble hop bitterness that is medium to slightly assertive—less than a Pilsner, but not by much. A somewhat fruity or vinous (grape-y from malts) quality and a crisp, dryish finish make up the rest of the flavor profile.

Can. CW online shop. Very light haze on a pale to medium amber gold. Fine white head stays the course. Nose has peppery hop leaf. Privet. Straw. Lightest whiff of sulphur. Some sweet and light spiced grain in the distance. Taste is clean and dry, with a nice biscuity sweetness. Some leafy and grassy pops of bitterness. Crisp and super refreshing on the palate. Soft, natural feeling carbonation. Moderate grassy bitterness to finish. Great logger.

Rerate: Crisp with caramel and hay in the finish - no sourdough or lemon/lime from original rating - brought the rating up quite a bit... 2/6/20 - Pours pale gold into a stange. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to coat surface. Caramel and hay aromas. Soft with hay, grass and sourdough upfront turning to lemon/lime (?!) in the medium length finish. 7/4/6/4/13 = 3.4
