Kolsch
Kölsch is a distinctive style of pale, light-bodied beer originating from Cologne (Köln), Germany. Known for its crisp and refreshing qualities, Kölsch is brewed using a unique hybrid fermentation process that combines ale and lager yeasts. This method imparts the beer with a clean, smooth flavor while maintaining the bright, golden appearance typical of lagers.
Kölsch is characterized by its subtle malt sweetness, balanced by a gentle hop bitterness and a hint of fruity esters. It typically has a low to moderate alcohol content, making it a highly drinkable and sessionable beer. Traditionally served in small, cylindrical glasses called Stangen, Kölsch is enjoyed both locally in Cologne and internationally by beer enthusiasts. Its adherence to the Kölsch Konvention, a set of rules governing its production and style, helps preserve its unique characteristics and ensures consistency in quality.
