Offered year round, Kölsch is a light and crisp golden German-style beer brewed in the finest traditions of the classic German Brewmasters. Traditionally brewed in Cologne, Germany, our version is similar to the classic Kölsch, but brewed and aged more in the Bavarian Style of a Kellerbier. Kellerbier (or Zwickelbier) is a beer natural carbonated and packed direct from the aging tank, without filtration or pasteurizing of the finished product. Our Kölsch is warm fermented with Lager yeast and then cold-aged, or Lagered. Because our Kölsch is unfiltered and has natural brewer’s yeast remaining, it is not only very tasty and refreshing but is also a natural source of vitamin B. It is less bitter than the standard German pale lager and has a prominent, but not extreme, hoppiness.

A- Golden. Unclear slightly. Finger or so of head, with little lacing.
S- Fresh bread. My Aunt Mary would be so proud if this was her starter. I just need butter and a toaster.
T- I taste the yeasty bread. Screw the butter mentioned above. Get me a glass. Delicious notes of yeast, subtle citrus, maybe a slight malt taste.
M- Perfect. Is that an option? It should be. The beer has great carbonation vs. the taste. I just want to keep gulping down this beer. Smooth. No alcohol taste.
O- Kolsch is one of my favorite styles of beer to drink when I want to drink quite a lot. Not something I would drink for the alcohol, but a great session beer. Delicious. High marks in the style.

A- Pours a hazy golden with a nice two fingers of fluffy white head that lines the glass with a nice delicate lace.
S- Very bready aroma with some sweetness, hints of caramel and subtle earthy undertones.
T- Bread, a bit of earthiness and yeast come through. Nice notes of sweetness and a bit of citrus fruit and a clean crisp finish.
M- Light to medium bodied with perfect carbonation and extremely easy drinking. Goes down smooth and has a nice crisp finish.
O- This is a very solid session beer and a good take on the style. Something I'd drink again from this local brewery.
