Description:
Technically we can’t call this a Kölsch because, just like champagne, the name Kölsch is an appellation protected by the breweries in and around Cologne, Germany. So to play by the rules we’ll call this a “Blonde Ale.” Light yellow to deep gold in color; this is an easy-drinking, approachable, malt-oriented craft beer that is also referred to as a “lawnmower beer.” All these names can get confusing but what the heck; you probably won’t remember any of them after you had a few!

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.
