Gaffel Kolsch

As I have said previously Wuppertal lies in the vicinity of both Cologne and Düsseldorf and as my German colleague resides in Cologne he insisted that we get a few Gaffel Kolsch's (4.8% abv) down our neck whilst visiting a nice traditional restaurant called Kornmuller (which happens to be in an old 18th century corn mill).

Like all good Kolsch's it maintains a crisp bitter taste, while delivering a soft fruity aroma. I really am not a big fan of the style. I think if you are going to go to the effort of brewing one, you may as well as brew a nice German Pilsner, but then since Kolsch style beers have been brewed in Cologne since the 11th century (ok they were slightly darker back then), who am I to argue? http://www.gaffel.de/
