Kölscher Club

What's a Kölsch? A Kölsch is considered a hybrid beer - technically an ale because of its ale yeast, but it is fermented cooler like a lager and traditionally aged cold like a lager. The Kölsch is a medium-light bodied, bright (or translucent), pale straw colored ale with moderate bitterness and moderate hop flavor. It's neither bitter nor sweet, neither hoppy nor malty. The yeast provides subtle hints of fruit, while German Noble hops offer a touch of light citrus and earthy spice. Brewing this style of beer requires a high degree of skill by the brewer, as its delicate nature readily exposes any off flavors and brewing mistakes by the brewer. To brew a Kölsch is to strive for perfection, and we hope we've done well for you. Show Less
