This summer we put our heads together with some of the best German-style beer producers around to collaborate on a coveted style, the Kölsch. This cold fermented ale was brewed with Pilsner malt and a small amount of Vienna, and it was fermented with a Kölsch strain from Cologne Germany where the style originated.

Canned 9/9/25, drunk 11/5/25. As pictured.
It's not a hoppy Kolsch, no, but seems really flawlessly-made with a bright, interesting, authentic nose full of Kolsch yeast. Light honey-like malt supports.
Clean and crisp with excellent malt depth and still retaining a crisp dryness with tons of yeast and malt character. Seems very authentic. Even a bit on the malty and rich side for the style. Low but not absent hops show a bit of dried herb and tea.

16 oz can. Flavor is malt forward and mildly sweet. Shows the characteristic bread flavors. A hop presence is not found. Shows a light body and normal carbonation. Somewhat crisp mouthfeel. Ends clean. Overall, was hoping for something a little more bold, considering the two breweries.

Pours slightly hazed gold into a wili. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. White grape aromas. Soft with sweet hay and sourdough upfront turning to dry white grape must in the medium length finish.
