Cölsch
The Basics
Style - Kölsch
ABV - 5.3%
Description
A crisp and refreshing Kölsch-style beer with a delicate balance of light malt sweetness, subtle fruitiness, and a clean, dry finish.
NAME
This classic German style of beer was conceived of, written and brewed by assistant brewer: Cole Janssen. He doesn’t enjoy naming beers so he settled on swapping the “k” as the first letter for the “C” of his first name.
BEER FACT
Crisp, delicate and oh-so-drinkable, the German-style Kolsch is a beer hybrid, meaning that its production and subsequent beer drinking experience saddles qualities of both lager beers and ale beers. These light and refreshing ale-lager hybrids are perfect for warm summer days and have become a favored style by American craft brewers and beer lovers alike.
