Kölsch 45 is a unique warm fermented ale, that is aged like most traditional German lagers at a cool temperature. Though light in body and color, its prominent hoppiness and radiant yellow “straw” color set it apart. The sustaining head retains prominent, pleasant aromas which aid in the crisp, refreshing nature of this beer. Hop bitterness is present, but not overwhelming.

Slightly hazy golden and lightly copper coloured body with some bubbles rising from the bottom and a thin, single centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of grass, funky malt, cardboard, light alcohol, nuts and even a touch of oats noticeable. Light-bodied; Strong funky malt flavours at first with a pungent brightness, mostly from grasses, but also from some astringent bitterness with hops evident soon after the sip. Aftertaste shows some lighter grasses and smoother malts along with a pleasant bitterness and some citrus flavours to finish it all off. Overall, a nice and refreshing beer with some good flavours and some pungency, but in a decent way throughout. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Meijer in Woodhaven, Michigan on 08-December-2016 for US$10,99/twelve pack, sampled at home in Washington on 29-April-2017.

Hazy golden-orange color with nice white head. Aroma is fresh, a bit fruity, yeasty. Definitely top-fermented I?d say. Taste is grainy-malty, spicy, a bit fruity. Fresh. Okay, but meh. Kölsch? Might just as well be a boring Saison.
