You'll find this beer to be a near perfect balance of sweet and bitter with a light biscut malt profile and subtle fruity notes. The kolsch yeast and lagering period create a clean well-attenuated beer that could easily be mistaken for a lager or pilsner by the average beer consumer. It's high carbonation and delicate flavor makes for a easy drinking sessionable lawnmower beer that will pair best with fish, oysters, light salads, and soft creamy cheeses like brie. This recipe differs from most traditional KOLSCH recipes by using Triple Pearl hops as the bittering hop as opposed to all noble hops. Triple pearl adds very subtle melon and citrus notes that work well in the style without overpowering the beer.
