Schilling Beer Co.

Schilling Beer Co. Zappes is a quintessential Kölsch that captures the spirit of Cologne with its graceful hybrid nature. It pours a brilliant, pale golden hue, topped by a delicate white head. The aroma is defined by a unique yeast strain that imparts subtle notes of orchard fruits like pear and apple, layered over a very low grainy-sweet German Pilsner malt base. On the palate, a light bready malt presence provides a soft foundation for a medium-low bitterness and faint herbal hop accents. The experience concludes with a clean, crisp finish that emphasizes its high drinkability and refreshing, well-attenuated character.

Appearance. Pale golden color (SRM 4) with brilliant clarity. It supports a delicate white head that shows moderate retention and fine lacing.

Aroma. Subtle intensity featuring a low grainy-sweet malt character. Notable delicate fruit esters of apple and pear are present from the yeast. Low herbal and floral hop notes contribute to a clean, fresh, and balanced aromatic profile.

Taste. Initial impression is a soft, neutral-grainy maltiness that transitions into a delicate balance of light bready flavor and faint fruitiness. Bitterness is medium-low, providing just enough structure to balance the malt. The finish is dry and crisp with a clean, short aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with medium-high carbonation that creates a refreshing, lively sensation. The palate is smooth and soft, exhibiting great attenuation without being thin or harsh.
