An Imperial Kölsch isn’t something you see every day so we thought we’d give it a go! “Imperialising” beer is a US fad where normal beers have their ABV (and also hop rate) ramped up which is what we did to our Ersatz Kölsch. We used only US Crystal hops which, being relatives of both Cascade and Hersbrucker, give a noble hop flavour with overtones of tangerines and orange zest.

Handbottled from Gazza who brought this along to share with Fin & Loz 18.08.11 cheers mate! Loz said sasparilla on the nose and I have to wholeheartedly agree, I just thought soft drink but Loz nailed it. Some sweetness and then warmth from the alcohol, really dry at the end. Warm gold in colour with a thin white head, I get a metallic twang from somewhere, it’s nice but not as good as some of the belters that we’ve had this evening. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4

Handbottle from Gazza at RBESG Grand Tasting, held at Dean Swift. Deep gold color. Huge estery nose, fruity, with peach, melon. Big kolsch-like flavor but with honey, grains, and esters. Strange and overdone, but interesting.
