Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Drake’s Brewing Kölsch-style Blonde
Ale. I’m a huge fan of Drake’s Brewing
and I’ve said that time and time again so I thought I better go to reviewing
some of their other beers (I’m a sucker for their IPAs…all of them).
From the Drake’s Brewing website: “Light in color
from brewing with only 2-row malt, but big on flavor from imported Noble Saaz
hops and German Spalt hops.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours a bright and clear golden straw color with
a large soapy white head and minimal lacing.
Aroma: Light and sweet smelling malts – like crackers and shortbread. Very crisp with subtle hop scents and the unmistakable Kölsch yeast aroma.
Taste: Very refreshing - a pilsner-like malt crisp start with
citrus hop bitterness following. Clean
finish.
Overall: As is to be expected, Drake’s Brewing Kölsch-style Blonde
Ale is another exceptional offering.
Easy to drink and perfect for summer days or fall evenings, at 4.8% ABV
this is a sessionable beer and great for those times you’re not seeking one of
their heavier or higher ABV ale offerings.
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
