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.
A Kölsch cannot be considered a Kölsch unless it is brewed in Köln (Cologne), Germany, just like champagne has to be produced in the Champagne region of France to be considered a champagne (otherwise it's a sparkling wine). So this is our Kölsch-style ale, Kölscher Club.
IBUs: Not too many, we think
SRM: 2.5
Malts: Extra Pale Pilsner, Carafoam, Vienna, Acidulated
Hops: Hallertauer Mittelfrüh, Perle
