The newest Brewer’s Share beer is a Kolsh style beer called “Cölesch”,
developed and brewed by Full Sail brewer, Cole Hackbarth.
Cole was inspired to brew an easy drinking, light, dry beer as an alternative to the
big malt and high hop styles that tend to be brewed this time of year. To put a distinct US spin
on this traditional German style, Cole used the new and hard to find Citra hop variety.
He single hopped with the Citra for bittering and aroma, and then used a Citra dry-hop during fermentation
to add even more hop flavor and aroma. The malt bill includes German Vienna malt and wheat in addition to the pale malt.
Both an ale and lager yeast strains were used during a cooler than normal fermentation. ABV 5.6% IBU 41
