General description

Kölsch is cologne’s answer to Pils and has been the most drunk beer in Cologne since the second half of the 20th century. The beer is traditionally served in a 20 cl glass called Stange. Like Pilsner, a Kölsch is bright and golden yellow, but has a higher yeast character. In the taste, in addition to the spiciness of the hops, you can also taste some fruitiness caused by the fermentation.
