Muckle Brewing

Muckle Brewing’s Cuesta is a sessionable Kölsch that delivers a refined, delicate sensory profile. Despite its lower ABV, it maintains the traditional balance of grainy-sweet Pilsner malt and subtle pome fruit esters like pear and apple. The "Glacial Lager" description translates to a brilliantly clear appearance and a crisp, lager-like finish that is exceptionally clean. Light herbal hop notes provide a gentle counterpoint to the soft malt base. This beer is defined by its restraint and high drinkability, offering a soft, rounded palate that concludes with a dry, refreshing snap characteristic of the style.

Appearance. Brilliantly clear, pale straw to light gold (approx. 3 SRM) with a delicate, frothy white head that exhibits moderate retention.

Aroma. Low intensity but fresh; features a clean, grainy-sweet malt backbone with subtle hints of honey. Very light esters of green apple and pear are present, complemented by a faint, spicy, and floral hop aroma.

Taste. Initial impression is a soft, grainy-sweet maltiness followed by a delicate balance of fruitiness and low floral hop flavor. Bitterness is medium-low and well-integrated. The finish is crisp, dry, and clean, with no lingering sweetness or harshness.

Mouthfeel. Light to medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation that enhances the crisp finish. Smooth, soft texture on the palate with zero alcohol warmth.
