Brick West Brewing Company Riverside Kölsch
What the brewers say
“A German-style Kölsch hopped with Tettnang and Saaz.”
What our panel thought
“Light citrus pith in the aroma and flavor. Balance is toward sweetness, which lingers on the tongue. Cracker-like malt flavor with a hint of rye toward the middle becomes slightly floral as it warms. Mild bitterness. Muted hop flavor. Lingering, light lavender spice in the finish.”
What our editors thought
“Faint aroma with bits of pale barley, honey, and very light flower blossom. Broad in the sip with a round honey malt note that masks the fresher floral edge.”
