Product details

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!

Exciting Brew!

Looking for a great summertime sipper! This brew is still in fermentation and I'd LOVE to be able to come back and complete this review after popping the first bottle! I selected to use Wyeast 2565 Kolsch yeast and to create a yeast starter with it; this was my first time making a yeast starter. I am impressed! This brew was a lovely golden, smelled great (aroma therapy) and tasted great with my OG reading of 1050. Within 12 hrs of pitching the yeast, there was bubbling in the airlock and a healthy krausen growth over the next 2 days to a 2" layer before beginning to slow. Anticipation! I'm pretty certain the wait for this beer will pay great enjoyment dividends!

Haven't tried it yet

Haven't even gotten it into bottles yet. But while I was transferring from primary to secondary fermentation I could tell it was crystal clear. This was all in all a pretty easy brew.

Kolsch - how to make friends

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.
