Full Circle Kölsch

If you all remember your beer style lessons, you''ll recall that a Kölsch is a beer style originating in Köln (Cologne) Germany - a hybrid of ale and lager styles - brewed with top fermenting yeast, making it an ale, but lagered, i.e. set aside to cool and age, which you do with lagers. Technically it's a Kölsch-style, since you have to be brewing in Köln to call your ale a Kölsch. 

Full Circle pours a cloudy, very carbonated, golden hue, with a short white head. There's subtle aromas and tastes of pear, white grape and honey. It's pretty light, so it's a good fit for the still-hot days of late August, early September. Not bad.
