Claritas is our 2016 World Beer Cup–winning Kölsch ale. This refreshingly smooth, authentically German beer is light straw in color, infused with light fruit and bready aromatics from the German Pilsner malt, hops, and yeast. The result is a smooth and dry ale with a refreshingly clean finish.

Pour is a milky looking yellow with a large white head. Aroma is pale malts but also a creamy sweet malt maybe from the wheat? Flavor is a clean malt a bit of sweetness and a grassy hop. Very soft mouth feel. It’s like drinking cold fresh well water. This was a pretty good and refreshing beer for summer or really anytime. Also the entire lid of the can comes off for when you feel like slumming it.

Can from The Beerhive. Opens like a tin of dog food. Pale golden body with a medium white head. Low carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of grain and herbs. Flavour of grass and pale malt. Medium body with a light, smooth texture. Soft fizz. Not much going on but it’s very clean and easy drinking.
