Description
Päffgen ist die älteste Hausbrauerei Kölns und braut noch heute in ihrer ursprünglichen Lage im Friesenviertel. Das Herz des Betriebes schlägt im Sudhaus hinter dem Biergarten. Bis in die 50er Jahre führte der einzige Anfahrtsweg ins Hinterhaus quer durchs Lokal. Noch heute kann man in der Schänke zwischen Zapfbock und "Aula" die kleinen Tischchen an die Wand klappen, wo früher Pferdefuhrwerke durch die Wirtschaft rumpelten. Mittlerweile kommen Hopfen und Malz durch ein Tor von der Rückseite.

On tap at ’Bierhaus am Rhein’. Clear, pale golden yellow with a frothy, white head. Sweetish, grassy and slightly fruity aroma of fresh grass, citrus and malts. Sweetish, already slightly bitter, grassy and a little fruity taste of fresh grass, citrus and some biscuits, followed by a short, moderately bitter, grassy finish. Thin to medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Nice Kölsch!

Cask at the brewery. Grainy-smooth beginning, fresh, malty. Slightly sweet with a nice malty grainy body. The aftertaste is smooth, nice fresh with a sweetish hint and a very low bitterness. Nice Kölsch.
