Dovetail Kölsch (pack of 4) (4.6%)

Dovetail Kölsch is a traditional German-style Kölsch brewed in Chicago, Illinois, sold as a four-pack at 4.6% ABV. Dovetail Brewery employs imported European malt and hops, decoction mashing, open fermentation in a coolship and maturation in horizontal lagering tanks. The beer is top-fermented like an ale, then cold-conditioned like a lager. The nose shows lemon zest, floral hops, yeasty white bread, soft fruity esters, white pepper and herbal character. The palate is light and bready, with pale malt sweetness, candied lemon, cracker-like dryness, measured bitterness and herbal notes. The finish is clean and moderately bitter, with floral hop character and lemon peel.
