Founded in 1805 by Wilhelm Sester, the brewery had been located in Ehrenfeld since 1917. In 1928 the business was expanded to include another site. Initially mainly "Kristall" and pils as well as the so-called Kölsch Alt were produced there. At the height of the brewery in the 1970s, an annual output of over 20,000 hl was achieved. In 1993 the Sester descendants sold the trademark and brewing rights to Brau und Brunnen AG (today part of the Radeberger Group).

Bottle @ home. Clear golden color, average sized white head. Smell and taste are no different from most other (German) Kolsch: some malts, lightly bitter, light hop bitter, hayish. Average body and carbonation. Ok beer.

Bottle from Cologne Kiosk shop in Cologne. Pours clear and golden with the a small short lasting white head. Aroma more of malt and caramel than the other Kolsch I’ve had so far on this trip. Medium sweetness but also with a level of bitterness again not experienced in the others. Light-medium body, sticky texture, light carbonation. Finish has a bittersweet edge. Enjoyed this.

Helder lichtgeel bier met schuim. Smaak is bitter en licht zoetig. Blijft lang hangen. Erg goede Kölsch

0,5 l bottle. Pours clear golden in the 0,2 l Kölsch Stange. Big white short living head. Low sweet grainy on the nose. Taste more malty grainy than expected, slightly bitterness. Not bad.
