According to German beer law, only beers brewed in Cologne can carry this illustrious title. Aside from our brewery’s Kentucky location, we are certain Kentucky Kölsch® lives up to these high beer standards.
For years, Alltech master brewers have used their very own specialized yeast, which is the single greatest contributor to this remarkably flavorful and award-winning microbrew. Our master brewers’ recipe calls for imported pale malts and malted white wheat to create an exceptionally smooth finish.
Kentucky Kölsch® was renamed from Kentucky Light in spring 2013 to more accurately reflect its beer style. The light-bodied, crisp ale is a German-style Kölsch ale, a classic style of beer originating from Cologne, Germany. With the increasing savvy of craft beer enthusiasts, the Kölsch descriptor is now better recognized and understood.

12 oz. can. Clear, golden color, with a big, foamy, white head. The nose is straw, mild spruce, caramel, and rose. Sweet and malty, with a light, dusty bitterness. Light, smooth, and clean. Easy and pretty well made.

Can. Not a very good example of this style. Taste more like an America Pale Lager than a Kölsch. Just not good.

Can from Total Wine in Vacaville, CA. Pours clear brassy gold with a very large creamy white head. Floral aroma. Dry and nicely bitter. Floral hop with a light citrus note. Bready malt support. Crisp and clean.

Shared 12 oz. bottle. Pale straw, clear, white head. Aroma and taste of corn, grains, bread. Frankly, this is pretty awful stuff. Drain pour.

Pour is a hazy straw with a large white head. Aroma is some wet paper bag and burning. Flavor is some tartness from some kind of infection and watery after that. When I saw 1% for the style I said that could not be. Well I was wrong this is terrible.

Lemon and hay nose. Clear golden, thin head. Tart lemon, sugar cane and hay at midpalate, clean finish. Light body harsh mouthfeel. This one turned out wrong, hardly recognizable as a kolsch, just a soured mess.

On tap at Industry. Pours a hazy yellow gold with medium frothy white head leaving sticky lacing. The aroma is faint wheat and citrus. Thin, wheat, grass, light finish, very bland.

Wow I need to check ratings prior to ordering. Dull golden pour nose is melon, grains and wet paper. Tastes of hints of garbage juice, honey dew, stale hops. Not very refreshing at all.

Kis habja gyorsan elillan. Szalmasárga színű. Illata gyümölcsös, kiugróan ananászos. Malátás alap, gyümölcsös felhangokkal, leginkább szőlős armával. Szinte semmi keserű, komoly szénsav. Utóíze gyorsan eltűnő savanykás gyümölcs. Könnyed, de nem vizes sör.
