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.

At a tasting, thanks, smallish bubbly head, a little hazy pale yellow color, aroma of cooked vegetables and some almond with some yeast in the back,yeasty citrus flavor, strange unpleasant sourness, spritzy feeling. Revolting.

Bottle sample at a tasting at troubles’s place. Thanks Tom L. Pale yellow with a white head. Aroma of vegetables and paper. Sourish flavor with vegetables, a bit of paper, and a slightly bitterish finish. Light-bodied. Quite bad, definitely off.

Kentucky Fried Charleston Trip Beer #1. Draft at Drake’s, Lexington as Drake’s Ale. Confirmed by two bartenders and the menu that this is Kentucky Kolsch. Pours a clear golden color with a medium sized frothy white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of grassy hops and mild green apple. The taste is strong creamed corn, grainy malts and a very faint grassy hop note. Thin bodied. Well, at least it washed down the buffalo wings.

Pours clear, old gold with a quick, puffy, head. Sweet grain malt aroma. Taste is a little bit of honey, grain, corn, malt, bread, barley. Slightly lemony. Clingy, syrupy sweet for all it’s wateriness. Not good.

Light haze on this pale gold beer. Light dry palate with a little fine carbonation. Dry lagerish malt, whisper of citrus. Dry finish. Not too offensive but a little over dry.
