Koelle Kölsch
Trauger Brewing

I am sampling a chilled 16 oz can poured into my snifter. Im not at home so glassware is more limited but this will do just fine.
canned on date stamped on can is 24172.... Im presuming feb 17 2024. But that is a long time ago. Hope this isnt that old. I like to try kolschs so I grabbed this one with out looking too closely.
the bee pours a mostly clear golden color with a fluffy bleached white head of 3 cm foaming up on my admittedly sort of aggressive pour.
This foam fades slowly to a sturdy surface covering and I get some windowpane lattice when I sip or swirl from my beer.
Aroma is pretty mild with some grainy malt and cracker mixing with a little grassy hop note. But nose is pretty muted overall.
First sip reveals a light body with very smooth texture with very fine and tingly carbonation. Beer drinks very easy, which is expected for the style.
Flavor profile is some grain and cracker and then a little lemon and some white grape note too. Finish is very dry and hints of bitey spicy hop note lingers long after each swallow. The dryness encourages me to take the next sip.
Pretty good brew for a hot summer day while on vacation. I would drink it again. Sort of anxious to see how some of the other brews that I bought from this style measure up.
