hopIQ found 10 beers with the same hazy and bready character as Gaffel Wiess. Gaffel Wiess revives the unfiltered style Cologne drank until the middle of the last century, before filtered Kölsch replaced it. It is pale, naturally hazy and top-fermented with the brewery's own yeast, brewed from Rhineland barley malt and Hallertau hops at 11.5 degrees Plato and 4.9 percent. With 11 IBU it stays mild: soft bready malt and a light grain sweetness meet a gentle yeasty fruitiness and a hint of spice, the body is round and smooth, and the finish carries only a light bitterness. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
