Hop BroRIKRI BREWING in Gakugei Daigaku has put out Kölsch Style 'GHOST'. At ABV 4.4%, it looks light, but the contents are carefully thought through.
MugiWhoa, a Kölsch can be that deep!? And a light 4.4% design means you can practically gulp it down!
Hop BroThe base is Pilsner malt, with a little wheat malt added. In other words, the malt profile is clean and it has some body too.
MugiWait, what's so great about a small amount of wheat malt? This is starting to sound like a science experiment!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: it softens the mouthfeel a bit while also helping the aromas come together. The hops are Hallertau Diamant, Hallertau Blanc, and WET Spalter Select, so it's a composition where layers of aroma come to life.
MugiWhat is that, it sounds stylish just from the names! But the hop lineup is so luxurious it feels like a party invitation!
Hop BroThey pair it with German K yeast, which gives it that clean, lager-like impression. The post also mentions lager-leaning ester character, which neatly supports the fruity notes.
MugiWait, esters is another word I don't know! So that means fruity aroma, right?
Hop BroExactly. And the flavor description is great too. Lightly toasted bread, honey, and biscuits, then green apple and red apple, floral notes, and muscat - it has a beautiful transition of aromas.
MugiOh wow! And they went with Kölsch Style labeling based on the 1985 Kölsch Konvention, which I love because it's so proper!
