So I brewed this one up awhile ago. Gave it plenty of time to bottle condition, and I've left a few in the back of the fridge for a few weeks for a sort of post-bottling lagering, since I don't heave means of lagering my beer in the carboy. Here are my findings.
Beautifully carbonated, though it doesn't pour with much head, nor does it retain what little head it had at the start. Amazingly crystal clear. I'm blown away, really, at how clear it is. On to the taste.
I have never had a Koelsch(-style) beer before, so I have no real comparison... But I'm finding there to be an overly sweet-malty taste to it -- pretty much the same taste you get when you sip the sweet, unfermented wort prior to yeast pitching. Is it supposed to taste like this, or did something go wrong? I hit my original and final gravities, so it can't be that there is residual sugar that didn't get converted to alcohol...
Is this characteristic of this style, or did I not something right in my process? (Perhaps lagering properly?)
