Reissdorf Kölsch

Brewed by Privat-Brauerei Heinrich Reissdorf
Style: Kölsch
Cologne, Germany

Serve in Kölsch/Altbier

This is an outstanding, flavourful, highly drinkable kolsch. It is deep golden with a medium white head steadily shrinking to a permanent thin top and a hint of lace. The aroma si full-bodied grain, hay, honey, apple peels, some fruit, especially grapes, bread, a hint of banana. The taste is crisp, clean, a little dry but full, lively, and interesting. It has bread, lemon, hay, apple, honey. It’s nice with a light tartness..

es schmeckt aus der Flasche fast genauso gut wie frisch aus dem Fass. Die Nr. 1 weil das meistverkaufte Kölsch schlechthin.

One of the Best Kolsch! You can not copy the ORIGINAL Taste of a real Kolsch. You mut go to Cologne.

smell of hay, dough... golden, clear and nice white head... light sweetness, with light bitterness.

Excellent stuff, and probably the most refreshing Koelsch there is! Good news - although definitely not the most easy to find, it is available also as the bottled version. The flip side is the US price, which is usually at least 3$ (tends to be 5$ though!). Get it in the Summer, refrigerate properly, and open while watching your favorite game. Prepare 5 bottles per person.

Poures from a 500ml bottle into an official Reissdorf Kölsch jumbo cylinder glass, one of my favorite glasses. It is a crystal clear straw color with magnificent tiny bubbles rapidly floating to the top and a nice foamy white head that leaves some really nice lacing. Smell is pretty quaint, a bit of breadiness with very subtle hop. Taste is crisp and delicious, Kölsches are just the most drinkable brew I swear it is like drinking liquid gold. It has a good medium body that is offset with its brilliant carbonation which equates in my opinion to extremely high drinkablility. Its a great malty beer, and it’s got the perfect balance of hops as well. Definitely a bit of bready green apple in here, it ends with a nice dry but bitter hop finish. I’d say the drinkability on this is even higher out of its "own" glass. These things go down like candy on a hot summer day. Overall just a wonderful masterfully crafted brew out of Köln brewed in the Kölsch tradition with passion and full attention.

My first Kolsch. Pours pale gold with thick, frothy head -- lasts forever. Aromas of hay, malt, grass and meadow. Flavor is a complex melange of hops (but not bitter), herbs, and hay, with just a hint of malt and barley. Wonderful with a ham sandwich. They know a good thing in Cologne
