NoDescription:German style golden ale that orginates in the Cologne region. This style of the
beer is brewed with around 12% wheat malt, the rest of the grist being
German Pilsner malt. Restrained hop bitterness can be discerned by the use of
German noble hops such as Hallertau, Hersbrucker or Tettnag varietals. This
style of beer is protected by the "Kolsch Konvention" pact signed in 1986 by
24 breweries in and around Cologne that is recognized by the German
government and allows these breweries exclusive rights to the word Kolsch to
describe their beer.
