Commercial Description:
The laws protecting the brewing of kolsch are as strict as the German Purity Law of 1516. Kolsch beer can only be brewed within the city of Cologne. As the best-known kolsch brewery, Gaffel's flavor is derived from an ale yeast that is "lagered" (or aged) in cold cellars. Gaffel is pale, faintly fruity with a crisp, hop finish. Enjoy as an aperitif or digestif.

A yellow beer with a beutiful white head. The aroma is malty with hints of citrus and slightly sour - a boring aroma. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of citrus and coriander.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pale golden with a decent, white head. Very refined, crisp and dry body - albeit a bit thin. Sharp and pure, fresh and prickling with a wee touch of fruit. 240901

Cask @ Gaffel Haus, Köln 06. Clean golden color white head. Very light, a little sweetish, a little yeasty, a little citrus in the aroma and tast.

Bottle. Pale golden colour, small white head. Ok bitterness, otherwise quite clean and crisp flavour. Nice enough beer, but quite one-dimensional.
