Campfire Kolsch – In honour of this year’s lumberjack theme and official charity (Vancouver Firefighters’ Charitable Society) we’ve brewed a sessionable Kolsch style ale using an extremely subtle amount of cherry wood smoked malt and hops that give tropical fruit notes. In the end you can expect this beer to be reminiscent of a lightly BBQed pineapple. Thank you to Red Truck Beer for hosting this year’s brew, along with Main Street Brewing and Parallel 49 Brewing for assisting with this year’s recipe design.

Appearance - Pours a slightly hazy straw with two fingers of frothy white head.
Smell - Bready and smoked malts, earthy hops, hint of citrus hops, tropical fruit (pineapple).
Taste - Flavours of grilled pineapple, bready and smoked malts, and earthy hops. There are hints of tropical fruit throughout.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes crisp and dry, with lingering pineapple.
Overall - A well-constructed kolsch with extra complexity from smoked malts and pineapple/tropical fruit flavours. Good collaboration beer for a worthy cause.
