Kölsch 4.5 º 35 IBU

Siphon Brewing

Inspired by the traditional hybrid beers of Cologne, this Kölsch style ale presents a vibrant, contemporary twist. A base of 100% Pils malt provides a clean, delicately grainy-sweet cracker foundation, which supports an elevated fermentation profile. Uniquely modern, the inclusion of Citra and Mandarina Bavaria hops drives a more pronounced bitterness alongside bright, enticing aromas of fresh tangerine zest, sweet orange, and soft grapefruit. Crisp and crushable, this golden hybrid beer balances traditional, clean European lager refinement with a modern, expressive fruitiness and a refreshingly firm, dry finish.

Appearance. Light gold with brilliant, sparkling clarity. Topped by a delicate, frothy white head that exhibits moderate retention and leaves light, wispy lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderate intensity showing a clean, low grainy-sweet Pils malt character. Elevated hop aromas of bright tangerine, mandarin orange, and soft grapefruit from the modern hops blend seamlessly with moderate yeast-derived esters of red apple and pear.

Taste. Begins with a crisp, neutral to slightly grainy-sweet malt impression of fresh cracker. Medium-high hop bitterness quickly asserts itself, conveying clean citrus peel, sweet mandarin, and light tropical fruit flavors. The fermentation character features a soft, supportive orchard fruitiness. Concludes with a very dry, crisp, and clean finish, leaving a lightly lingering, pleasant hop bitterness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, soft, and highly attenuated profile. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively, refreshing crispness on the tongue without any harshness or alcohol warmth.
