Originating from Cologne (Köln), Germany, the Kölsch style is historically only brewed along the Rhine (Rhein) River. The style is so regional that Germans in other parts of the country may not even be able to get it. We brought the style here and added our own little bit of personality by making the traditionally 4.5% alcohol beer closer to 7%. This full flavored dreamy Kölsch will stand out from the rest with its strong pineapple-like aroma and complex fruity flavor.

Poured from a brown 12 oz. bottle. Has a dark golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of pineapple, some floral notes. Taste is pineapple, malts, floral, some grains. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a solid beer, a bit too crushable for the abv.

Hazy kolsch unlike others I've had that are more crisp, but I love this one....has a very unique fruity taste and has a significant alcohol kick. I visited this brewery back in August and sampled many of this brewery's offerings....worth a stop!

pours slightly hazy yellow. nose is slightly fruity with ton of malt in there as well. minimal head. good full mouthfeel. taste is reminiscent of a good adjunct lager to me up front but mid to late palate things seem to come togeather and I get some subdued fruit maybe pineapple and some yeasty fruity prescence. malt is definetly apparent. finishes with fruity but maybe some floral or earthy notes. hmmm. this beer is pretty good. confusing to me a little. not really sure what to think. im not a kolsch fan but I like this. alcohol well hidden.

Much stronger than a kokch should be...but...nice.
Creamy mouthfeel....kinda boozy. An adjustment for sure. But overall I like it.
Kick down the abv and I'm all over this for a summer brew.
