Here's another craft brew from right over in North Carolina, French Broad Gateway Kolsch. Sally is very fond of the light nature of Kolsch and I am also coming to terms with the style.
Gateway K pours clear, corny gold with better than average head retention. The first sip tastes of light beer and noble hops. The lightness
reminds of wheat beer. And, brings to question, how did I miss the whole wheat beer season this year?
I guess I spent the season reconciling myself with the Kolsh style? A conundrum, since it's an ale that drinks like a lager. I have gained renewed respect for our German brewing forefathers who created this light ale which imitates their lagers.
So, as predicted, the mouthfeel is the impression of a Pilsner.
Grade: 3.5 of 5 pints
