Reissdorf Kölsch

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

Poured a crystal clear golden color with very little white head. Very light applish aromas, but pretty muted. Light on the palate. Taste is crisp, clean, and finishes with a hint of sweetness. Refreshing.

Bottle. Pours a pale yellow with a bubbly film head. Aroma is mild, has a malty edge. Mouthfeel is crisp and spritzy. Flavour is slightly sour with a floral bitterness at the end.

Bottle... Clear yellow ale with a mid-sized, wispy, white head. Good retention. Perfumey nose with light notes of toffee, spent pale malt mash and butter. Well-balanced flavor with a crisp hop kick and flashes of crushed grain and English toffee. Medium-bodied and very lightly creamy with tingly carbonation. Crisp, clean, dry finish. One of the only Kölsches I remember drinking that’s brewed "dead-on" to style. Nice!

pretty uneventful. tastes like a slightly better version of an american pale lager. uneventful...

Really light beer withy raw oat, and sweet corn smell. On tap at j-betskis

Draught. Gold colored with a light fruity apple and floral aroma. Light, mildly sweet straw/cereal flavors with underlying crisp fruit notes and grassy hop finish. Just a Kolsch in the long run, but refreshing and quaffable on a warm night, especially out of its narrow shell-casing glass.

500 ml bottle. Clear yellow pour. Small thick white foamy head. Aroma is of straw and grasses. Very crisp and refreshing beverage.

Yeah, this is about as solid a kolsch as you could hope for. As the days get hot, a nice crisp fizzer like this is just the ticket. Warm tasting with just the right trace of crispness, like that nice straw taste rendered buttery somehow. This style isn’t something I think to have very often, but when in the mood this one will do just fine.
