Beers similar to Spring

Kölsch·United States·5% ABV·One of 65 Kölschs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Spring's malty and floral character. Lemon, honey and rose lead the aroma, followed by notes of fresh-cut grass and bread dough. Cashmere and Hallertau Mittelfrüh hops meet Maine Malt House Pilsner, Blue Ox Vyenna and Carahell in this 5% Kölsch, an annual release. The name nods to Azure Bluets, tiny pale-blue woodland flowers that appear in early April as the snow melts. The recipe began in the Black Barn Program and became a perennial favorite.
