Halben Hahn Kolsch

Halben Hahn Kolsch

Kölsch • Partial Mash • 5.75 gal

kappel

A malty, light & continental style ale. sugar rest <149 degrees is key to dry light body. Munich malt adds malt flavor without body. Spaltz hops give it a refreshing bitterness. My co-worker from Koln named this brew...he says it tastes like the real thing, but the color is a little too golden for his liking.
