A Kolsch-Style Ale. A Pale German Ale that is fermented cool and drinks like a lager. A light fruitiness from the yeast, and a dry finish makes this one of our favorite beers for warmer months and working in the yard.
Hops: Hallertau Mittelfruh

32 oz crowler. Opened 24 hours after purchase.
Pale gold in color with bright clarity. Big, frothy white head with good retention and a good amount of lacing on the glass.
Fresh, grainy malt aroma balanced by floral hops. A little bit of white wine on the back end. The taste flat out blew me away. Loads of fresh malt character with just the right balance of hop bitterness. Slightly sweet, floral and fruity. Finishes soft, dry, and clean. Medium-light bodied. Simple yet elegant.
This beer is a master class in how using a simple recipe with fresh, quality ingredients and proper techniques can produce great results. It has just about everything I look for in a beer; depth of flavor, balance, and drinkability. The malt smelled and tasted super fresh and provided the perfect base for Hallertau Mittelfrüh hops to shine. I guess there is a reason it is the quintessential noble hop. Drinking it fresh helps as well, as the Kölsch style is so delicate and the flavors can fade quickly. Freshness is key with them.
Outstanding beer from this new brewery and I look forward to the other two crowlers I bought (Bitter and English Oatmeal Stout).
