Kölsch-style Ale
Based on the traditional style of Kölsch beer brewed in Cologne, Germany.
Flavor
Alaskan Kölsch Ale balances a softly malted palate with the clean freshness of hops. In the tradition of the style, neither overpowers the other. Both hops and malt come together to refresh and renew the palate. The straw-gold color and easy drinkability are an enjoyable way to celebrate summer.
Ingredients
Alaskan Kölsch Ale is made from glacier-fed water and a generous blend of European and Pacific Northwest hop varieties and premium two-row and specialty malts. Our water originates in the 1,500 square-mile Juneau Ice Field and from the more than 90 inches of rainfall Juneau receives each year.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden with a small frothy white head. The aroma is Citrus and wheat. Thin mouthfeel with a sweet hop and wheat flavor with nice crisp finish. Easy to drink a very good Kolsch from Alaskan.

Frisch würziger Antrunk auf süffiger Stufe. In der aufkommenden aber mild bleibenden Herbe ist eine leichte Wässrigkeit enthalten. Noch wenig süß (-malzig), zum Ende vollmundig, dabei bleibt das Bier aber auf seinem süffig-milden Niveau. Stimmiges ausbalanciertes Kölsch mit hoher Süffigkeit. 9/9/12/11/10/11

Big thanks to my pal Dave for bringing this back from alaska for me. Pale lager appearance without much bubbly going on. Quite strong alky slightly tart or vinegar aroma. Taste is clean sharp pilsner pointed. Bitter and impressive for a kolsch. Expected something much milder. The alky content listed here is 5.3% but this stuff seems to be well over 6%. Yep, seems alky strong fer sure. One of the strongest tasting kolsch I’ve had for a while. Long bitter pilsner medicine linger.

Bottled from Spokane, WA. Clear golen, no head. Fruity and fairly light bodied with notes of grass, herbal spices and wheat crackers. Finishes with medium spicy bitterness. A reasonable approximation of the style.

Doesn’t actually seem much like a kolsch, but a decently refreshing beer - lightly hazy gold - aroma of honey, flowers, moderate noble hops and a light mineral character - semi-chalky texture - moderately dry, crackery malts - a lot of hard water character - stale noble hops - lightly sweet finish - not so hot.
