Hatton Ale

Hatton Ale Wine Details
Price:

Description: Kölsch - A standard light drinking ale in many parts of Germany. This beer provides many of the characteristics that a lager does, smoothness, with an all over subtleness than blends flavors together, instead of separating them out. Highly refreshing and easy drinking, this brew received a Best in Show award in competition in 2010.

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.
