This German Kolsch lager recipe is all about balancing malt, hops and the delicate fruit character of the speciality Kolsch yeast. Another key characteristic is brilliant clarity and this is achieved with our Clear Choice®, polyphenol free malt, which won’t throw a chill haze. A beautifully refreshing, crystal clear lager.
