Kölsch

This Kölsch is known for its balance, featuring a delicate breadiness that acts as the backdrop for subtle, fruity flavors like apple and pear. And the finish on this style? It’s similar to one you’d find on a dry, white wine.

Glassware

A stange (German for “stick”) is best for this beer because the shape enhances the aroma and flavor notes. You can also pour this beer into a Becher glass or a pilsner.

Featured Beer Tasting Notes

• Delicate notes of lemon grass, white pepper, wildflowers
• Subtle bread-like, spicy, rye complexity

Food Pairings

• Cheese: French Comte (made from unpasteurized cow’s milk in a region of Eastern France) is creamy and peppery, pairing perfectly with the peppery, floral hops in a Kölsch.

• Salads & Bread-Based Dishes: Bring out the flavors in a fresh pear salad while enjoying the light fruity tastes of this delicate beer style. Or, complement its bread-like flavors while cleansing the palate with carbonation between bites of your favorite flatbread or pizza.
