My favorite domestic Kölsch because of its hoppy style. Lightly malted, crispy and wholehearted (as a Kölsch can be). It is normally only available in wooden casks in a few pubs in Cologne (Hausbrauerei Päffgen, Brauhaus Salzgasse, Lommerzheim and Max Stark), but at Max Stark I have seen swing top bottles of Päffgen Kölsch a few weeks ago.

draught Golden, totally clear; creamy yellowish super-dense head leaving good lace. Freshly ground greenmalt, bit of grassy to hay-ish nose. Sweet excellent pale malts, finish is clear-hoppy. Sweetness restrained by the perfect quality hops, giving low, but affirmative bitterness. Light bodied but nowhere empty, certain slickness. My brewing companion tells me this is the hardest style to brew. I’m not surprised. Here, they do it to perfection.

Süßlicher, cremig getreidiger Beginn. Hell malzig, wenig herb, süffig. Die milde Getreidigkeit bleibt vorhanden, geringe Karbonisierung, spritzig. Mittellanger Nachhall, etwas dunkler. Gut. 10/11/12/11//11
