technically a kolsch-like blonde ale: adapted from Blonde Kolsch on Rye: lowered ABV by reducing Pilsen Malt. Swapped out Hallertau for Spalt. Added munich instead of vienna to increase SRM. Should be similar, yet darker, milder version.
This one's a keeper for the tap rotation. solid german kolsch flavor, minimal spicy character. Even has an ever-so slight stella taste to it, but a bit more character and mouthfeel. dark golden straw color with slight head retention. should please a variety of taste buds.
tastes like a lighter version of the blonde kolsch on Rye after finishing primary fermentation. Not as spicy or strong alcohol, although has a slightly "hot" finish. Still picking up the rye. Should mellow nicely after some cold aging and carbonation.
