Beer #1: Dockyard Kolsch
Style: Kölsch
ABV: 4.8%
IBU: 24
Flavor Text: We have had crafted our recreation of this Ale style which is almost straw like in color and actually has Lager like qualities. Kölsch is an ale that tastes like a lager. If you handed a Kölsch to an unaware beer drinker, it is very common to mistake the beer as a lager. This beer has a very soft mouthfeel, exclusively slightly sweet, but has a subtle malty aroma and finishes very dry. The light hop aroma and hop flavor is notable from the use of German Nobel hops during the brewing process. The 4.8 % ABV, and 24 IBUs, creates a very drinkable beer especially during the hot summer months. Kölsch is similar to an American Blonde Ale, but finishes much cleaner and crisper.
