Head Brewer and Elevation Beer Company Co-founder Christian Koch fell in love with this style after visiting the beer halls of Cologne, Germany. First brewed for our local county rodeo, this is a flavorful session beer that feels right at home in craft beer venues and cowboy bars alike.
8 Second pours a straw color with a bright white head. High carbonation brings forward notes from our Kölsch yeast, giving it the crisp finish of a lager with the light fruit notes of an ale. This is our authentic interpretation of the Kölsch beers of Cologne.

From a 12 oz. can. Pours a clear gold with a thick white head. Bready aromas. Flavors are a bit tart with some lemon notes - light but jarring. Slightly bitter aftertaste.

Canned May 22nd, part of a mixed 12pack bought at Liquor Shed.

Pours a clear straw yellow, good head of foam that shrinks to a fine layer. Pretty good lacing.

Pretty big nose of lemon citrus, some bread, but the lemon citrus has my attention.

Taste of lemon citrus, a bit stronger with the bread, fairly crisp, very refreshing.

Medium light body with light carbonation.

Excellent summertime brew.

Can confirm, is a kolsch. It's light and still flavorful though.

12 oz bottle poured. Pale golden yellow in color with a ring lasting head. Big, corny aroma. Flavor is bready malt, straw grains, some corn flake cereal, and a decently refreshing cool finish. If the point is drinking this in 8 seconds or less, I could have done it. I guess that means something. For the pocket change price, I can’t complain too much here. Decent kolsch, but for me, the corn took away from the refreshment.

Sample from a bottle. Pours an unclear yellow, with a big, frothy, white head. The nose is biscuits, lemon zest, straw, and some floral hops. Sweet flavor, with a light, crisp bitterness. Light body, crisp, lightly effervescent, and silky. This is a pretty solid American Koelsch, and a refreshing, easy beer.

On tap at a friend’s wedding, pours a clear gold with frothy white head. Nose has lemon, straw, grass, some dust, some toasted white bread. Flavor follows, lemon, grass, some mild spice, yeast, some white flour. Medium bodied.

Pint bottle purchased at Applejack in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Bottled on 12.18.14 printed on label. The pour is slight chill haze golden yellow with a small foamy white head. The aroma is bready malt along with floral earth hop. The taste is the bready malt, mild fruit sweetness, and finishes with the floral, softly mineral hop. The flavors all linger a bit long. The palate is light to medium bodied, with soft natural carbonation and the the somewhat long muddled finish. Decent.

Poured up on tap at Euclid Hall where it exhibits a crystal clear gold body thin bright white head. The aroma offers up sweetness, bready almost doughy maltiness a bit of corn. The taste is similar with doughy malts, a bit of lemon tartness, sweet corn and sweet maltiness. Overall this is decent albeit too sweet and heavy for a Kolsch. Sorry.
