Reissdorf Kölsch

The town of Cologne, the namesake for Kölsch, not only has more breweries than any other city in the world, but also has a federal law protecting its right to brew this pale, top-fermenting ale (appellation controlee). Kölsch, which has been brewed in Cologne and outlying areas since before 1300, furthermore has a brewers guild (founded in 1396) that mandates certain parameters for its brewing and protects the appellation worldwide.

Kölsch is typically lighter even than Pilsner in color and is often around 5% ABV with a slightly malty, fairly soft palate. The finish is decidedly dry due to its high attenuation and firm hop character. The cleanness is a result of a fairly long, cold maturation of two to six weeks.

These days Reissdorf Kölsch has almost reached a “cult status” with beer connoisseurs around the world looking at it as a “well preserved secret”.

Reissdorf Kölsch is designed to be pale in color, soft on the palate, restrained on fruitiness, with a delicate dryness in the finish.

Reissdorf Kölsch is a “session style” beer served in its typical 7 oz. glass in the wee-hours after work.
