Reissdorf Kölsch (pack of 4) (4.8%)

An authentic Cologne Kölsch beer brewed by Privatbrauerei Heinrich Reissdorf at 4.8% ABV. Reissdorf is one of only 24 Köln-based signatories to the Kölsch Convention, and the beer is brewed in compliance with the Reinheitsgebot using water, malt, hops and yeast. Top-fermentation lasts about eight days, followed by four weeks of cold-conditioning. The nose has faintly crackery malt, restrained pear-like fruitiness and subtle minty hops. The palate is soft and lightly malty with sweet vanilla-like undertones, more body and a toasty grain dimension, balanced by firm hop bitterness at 27 IBU. The finish is dry and crisp, with a cedary hop note.
