Comments:

Kolsch is subtle sweet beer that over the years I grew to love whilst visiting the stunning city of Cologne.

Its very subtle and soft, slightly malty sweetness up front with a nice crisp end. It is known for its easy drinking with a nice delicate hop fruitiness.

The beer will require time and finings to get a clear finished beer due to the yeast not flocculating easily.
