Forward Brewing

Forward Brewing's Boat Day is a refreshing Kölsch that balances traditional German precision with a contemporary, lightly dry-hopped edge. It pours a brilliant light gold with a delicate white head. The aroma offers a refined blend of grainy-sweet malt and soft apple or pear esters, accented by a floral and herbal hop lift from the dry hopping. On the palate, expect a soft, rounded mouthfeel with gentle bready notes and a clean, well-attenuated finish. This approachable ale maintains a crisp, dry character and moderate bitterness, making it an ideal companion for extended sessions in the sun.

Appearance. Light gold (SRM 4); brilliant clarity; delicate white head with moderate persistence and fine lacing.

Aroma. Low intensity; grainy-sweet malt backbone with subtle notes of honey. Prominent but delicate fruit esters of pear and red apple. Hop aroma is floral and herbal with a slight spicy edge, subtly enhanced by the light dry-hopping.

Taste. Balanced initial impression of soft, bready malt and mild fruitiness. Hop flavor is floral and spicy, supported by a medium-low bitterness. Fermentation is clean with a soft, rounded palate leading to a dry, slightly crisp, and very clean finish. No harshness or heavy residual sweetness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body; medium-high carbonation providing a lively sparkle. Smooth and soft texture; negligible alcohol warmth; non-astringent.
