It's not really a Kolsch, and it's definitely not a pilsner, though it has aspects of both, so it's just a general "light hybrid" beer. I am stumped on coming up with a witty name for it.
I love puns, so the more groan-worthy the better, and feel free to critique the recipe! brew day is saturday and the only thing locked in is the yeast because the starter is already going.
