About
In 1894 the Obergärige Brauerei Heinrich Reissdorf was founded by Heinrich Reissdorf in the Cologne Severins neighbourhood. In 1923 the brewery started to brew bottom-fermented beers and it became the Privat-Brauerie Heinrich Reissdorf. Through the years it stayed in the family.
In 1996, the Privat-Brauerie Heinrich Reissdorf acquired today's company premises in the industrial area of Cologne-Rodenkirchen. With the new production facility, a brewery was created, which is equipped with the latest brewery technology and meets the highest quality standards.

Bottle: Clear, straw golden coloured, stable small to medium sized quite firm head; light sweet-grainy nose with a fruity and a hoppy touch; slightly sweetish-fruity (citrousy) and a bit bitter flavour; fruity (citrousy again) quite dry finish with a light, but distinctive bitterness. A well made, pleasant and tasty Kölsch !

An orange beer with no head. The aroma is sweet malty and hoppy, while the flavor is malty combined with notes of caramel and bisquites, leading to a toffee’ish dry end.

rerate from gravity-keg. Citric and grassy hop aroma. Pale golden, lowish blanket head. Lightbodied toasted strawlike malt base, fruity, citric notes on top, dry and light herbal finish. Lightbodied fitting the style. Light malted aftertaste. Quite easy drinkable and refreshing.

(bottle) Pale golden colour with a medium frothy white head. Malty aroma with biscuits and fruits (apricots, grapefruits). Slight sweet flavour, malty taste, crisp hoppy finish with a soft bitterness. A well made Kölsch.

Bottle. Bready vegetable aroma, not unpleasant. Yellow colour, big, unstable white head. Light body. Quite clean tasting and refreshing with a little acidity, but quite boring. Flavour and aftertaste also have some vegetable.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, pale golden with an almost absent head. Very pronounced, sweetish malty feel, a great softness and a very discreet bitterness. Kölsch is not the world’s most exciting style of beer but it’s soft and sympathetic. 240505

Golden kolsh with a nice creamy white head. Lightly sweet malt in aroma with grassy notes. Sweet fruity malt with a hint of pineapples, and some faint hops becoming stronger in mouth as tasting progresses. Quite nice. Bought at Beers of the World (fall 2004).

500 ml bottle, at the foreign beer bar of the 32nd Cambridge Beer Festival. (Was also available on draught there, but not when I decided to sample it.) This was my first Kölsch ever, as far as I can remember. Moderate head, yellow colour. Looks like a pilsener or a helles, smells like a decent pilsener: grass, hints of tropical fruits. Flavour nearly like a decent helles or one of the better pale lagers, but a slight yeastiness betrays its origin. Decent, but did not impress me.

Perfectly clear golden color with minimal head and lacing - fresh hop aroma with light touches of grain - very crisp, clean, light and refreshing, but not watery at all - slight grassy, herbal qualities, with a tiny bit of hops - very subtle sweetness and a surprising vinous quality that works for some reason - totally clean finish - quite nice, great for warmer weather.
