You hold an enlightened throwback ale brewed in the Kölsch tradition of yesteryear. Beautiful floral Spalt Hops were chosen in the field by Brewmaster Dan Carey. Crisp bitterness dries quickly into a clean finish. Double decoction mashing of specifically blended German and Czech barley and wheat malts naturally create a golden bready center. Old world open top fermentation imparts lilting fruit notes to softly round out this 100% naturally carbonated live ale with a friendly bounce. Prost!

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle from shrubber85 poured into a mug. Aroma is nice golden malt, medium/light body, low/medium carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is light malt.

Lemon, barley malt, and grass aroma. Golden yellow with large white head. Lightly sweet lemon, bready malt, and mildly bitter grass flavor. Great body. Excellent.

Bottle. Better than many of the originals from Cologne. Significant yeast character. Malt and lightly sweet. Bread dough, and full palate.

Really nice example of what is generally not a very exciting beer. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t exciting either. Nice, though.
