A lot of Kolsch recipes use wheat for head retention and a little mouthfeel. Looks like they might do that. I'm guessing maybe 10% wheat.
Yep. My next brew day I'll be brewing a Kolsch. Never brewed one before so I researched some recipes and decided on one that happens to have 4.8% wheat malt.
 
Some recipes do, but Kolsch yeast is a notoriously bad floccer, so it could just need more conditioning. A local brewery by me just released a Kolsch that was "cold conditioned at length", and it's still hazy. I was shocked, because all their lagers are brilliantly clear.

Tell me about it, brewed a Kolsch on March 3rd, has been cold crashing/lagering for almost 20 days now and is still hazy. Don't need gelatin very often, but going to have to use it on this one.

In the mood for wheat beer once more this fine Friday, one of these days I'll really need to start making my own brew...
For now though I'll just satisfy myself with these.
Not my favourite, the aroma was nice and pleasant but the taste was sort of bland.

I enjoyed and was pleasantly surprised by this one, will likely have it again in the future.
