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. Goes well with lightly smoked sausages. The appropriate glass for this beer is very similar to that used for a Tom Collins and the brew is best served cold at (48 degrees F).
Similar in character to a pilsner or a light lager. |
