Prost Brewing Kölsch
Aroma: “Floral, spicy, citrus (lemon), and slightly tropical hops. There’s a light bready malt in there as well as a touch of grassy. Quite complex for a simple style.”
Flavor: “Light sweetness into light bitterness and very light acidity. Light body and a dry finish. Clean and simple malt profile with a hint of corn. Clean floral, perfumy, and slightly citrus hops. Slight mineral characteristic. Super well-balanced with a very crisp and dry finish that is not overtly bitter.”
Overall: “Perfect balance of clean simple malt and complex but delicate hops in a light easy-drinking vessel. Just the right hits of sweetness, bitterness, minerality, and esters.”
