This 5.0% Kolsch was brewed in collaboration with Second Chance Bikes, a company that collects abandoned or donated bikes in Charleston and fixes them up and sells them for affordable prices. They throw a Fall Festival with us every year which is a half-farmer’s market and half-bike shop pop-up, and we thought they deserved to have their own beer for helping people stay mobile in our extremely bikeable city. Pale and Wheat malts and Newport hops coupled with prickly pear puree in the fermenter gives this beer a deliciously smooth mouthfeel, lovely fruity undertones, and a vibrant pink color when you’ve got a pint glass of it.

Had Kickstand Kolsch (sic) at Holy City taproom on draft into tumbler.
Pours rose-amber with 1-finger, creamy light pink head, with decent retention, but leaving little lace. Aroma of a little hop spice off pour, then some floral and fruity, I guess prickly pear, resembling tart stone fruit, aromas, with sweet malt and growing bubble gum aromas taking over as warms. On tasting, begins a bit flat but malty, then lots of fruit, to match the aroma plus sweeter stone fruit, berries and (not water) melon, before a big crisp hop kick, which then reveals a smooth malty body, just before the very crisp finish.
The kölsch base beer and Newport hops carry the prickly pear purée rather well, for a drinkable and refreshing beer, although certainly not a kölsch, but a fruited ale (and added and reviewed as such).
