Reissdorf Kölsch

Brewed by Privat-Brauerei Heinrich Reissdorf
Style: Kölsch
Köln, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

This is an outstanding, flavourful, highly drinkable kolsch. It is deep golden with a medium white head steadily shrinking to a permanent thin top and a hint of lace. The aroma si full-bodied grain, hay, honey, apple peels, some fruit, especially grapes, bread, a hint of banana. The taste is crisp, clean, a little dry but full, lively, and interesting. It has bread, lemon, hay, apple, honey. It’s nice with a light tartness..

Poured from 500ml bottle. Pours a very nice golden color with 1-2 finger head which quickly dissipates. Light lacing. medium to light malty aroma. Good mouthfeel. Malty taste with clean finish. Good beer for a hot summer day, however, there are plenty of other choices for that.

A clear classic golden body topped by a rapidly dying white head, here;s a clean finishing lower alcohol brew that is not my favorite for the genre--good hops, but for more depth, try other kolschs.

Aroma: Very similar to a good quality Plermium Lager but has more noble and higher hoppy profile being flowery, perfumy and gently floral but not strongly or essentionally herbal, gentle juicy and toffee - whipped cream maltyness, simple but good in quality. Denoting top - fermented characteristics.
Flavour: Tatally no saltyness or chalkyness, very clean, pure, refined, gentle flowery nose and pure thin grains drafted on palate, gentle dryness and astringen. Truffle like accents from hops and gnaffy whipped cream, toffee maltyness. Finish duration is short.
