Point Yellowtail Pale Ale

Point Yellowtail Pale Ale Wine Details
Price:

Description: So where can you taste a Kolsch? There are no Kolsches being imported into the United States. So you could fly to Cologne. A better idea is to come to Ballast Point Brewing Company and try our Yellowtail Pale Ale Kolsch. We make it with 5% Wheat, finish hop it with Liberty and Tettnanger hops, and ferment it with a yeast we borrowed from a brewery in Cologne. So come on in and enjoy a taste of the Rhineland!

Varietal Definition
Kölsch:
Kölsch is an appellation for a beer style originally brewed in the Köln area before the lagering revolution. Again, like an Altbier or Steam beer, it is warm fermented and then aged at cold temperatures. Kölsch is characterized by a golden color and slightly dry, winey and subtly sweet palate. This style should have a light body, with a low hop flavor and aroma with medium bitterness.
