Can you enter a Kolsch with Wyeast 1007? Recipe below is for a 12 gallon batch.
This particular beer is brilliantly clear and very lager like, but with a touch of fruitiness from the yeast and hops. Super easy drinking, refreshing and delicious! Kind of tastes like lipton iced tea, but in a good way.
It is very well attenuated, but I feel like the malt character is more similar to a helles than most commercial versions of Kolsch I have tried. (Maybe I've never had a truly fresh Kolsch though?)
I'm afraid I could get dinged for too much malt presence in the Kolsch category, although the guidlines say "May have a malty-sweet impression at the start, but this is not required."
The OG is also slightly above the recomended guidelines for a kolsch.
