This pale, light-bodied golden ale is copyrighted by, brewed in, and named for the German city of Köln. Kölschbier is traditionally given a long, cold aging period like a lager, which makes for a very smooth and clean beer. A small dose of German Hallertau hops cuts the richness of the malt. "Spritzy" is a word often used to describe Kolsch - very refreshing, and a popular lawnmower beer for beer snobs!
Of all the beers I've made, this one disappeared the fastest. I typically like heavy imperial stouts and robust IPAs, but you really have to brew something for your friends, right? This brew is light, with a great finish - awesome summer beer that I'm brewing again for the gang (and admittedly, I like it too). I heard, "This is REALLY good!" and "Do you have any more of that?" right up until the time it sadly vanished.

This Kolsch is delightfully light but with enough body to be highly satisfying any time of year.

I added Blackberry puree and blackberry extract and ended up with my best fruit beer so far. It is my 2nd Blackberry kolsch. The 1st was good but the 2nd effort was outstanding.
