- Tasting Notes
- Sessionable!!!
This is a very good, sessionable beer, devised from a load of ingredients I needed to use up. It's essentially a Maris Otter/Northern Brewer SMaSH, though I took inspiration from Kolsch methods. Tastes like a Kolsch but breadier and slightly fruity-sweet, with a nice kick of bitterness on the aftertaste. Also reminiscent of steam beer because of the hops.
Fermented at around 15-18C for two weeks, then lagered at around 5C for just under a month.
I have a pressure barrel which I normally use for lagering, but have been using it to serve this as an experiment in line with the bar-top barrels they have in Cologne, and the results are good. It would taste wicked out of a corny though.
It's called 'Claire's Kolsch' below as my wife is a big Kolsch fan - and she gave it a big thumbs up. I've been searching for a 'house' brew since I started brewing, and I think this could be a contender...
