Light hop aroma, German noble or Czech Saaz hops, giving a light fruitiness. Maltiness none to low. No diacetyl, as this is a lagered beer resulting in a clean finish with just a hint of fruitiness from primary fermentation at ale temperatures. Low sulfur aroma, similar to that of pale continental lagers, is acceptable, particularly in a young Koelsch. Very pale to light gold.
White head lingers as Belgian lace on the sides of the glass.
Clean fermentation with just a little residual fruitiness from ale fermentation temperatures. Balanced toward bitterness but malt character should not be completely overshadowed. Light side of medium body. Smooth, crisp mouthfeel. Brewed at ale temperatures, then cold conditioned to reduce fermentation byproducts.
