Beers similar to QBrew Kölsch

Mill Street Brewery

Kölsch·Canada·4.6% ABV·One of 71 Kölschs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share QBrew Kölsch's fruity and malty character. A Kölsch brewed as a charity release with a Toronto radio station, with proceeds supporting a relief fund for the Canadian music industry. Following the German model it is fermented cool with ale yeast and then conditioned cold, which leaves it crisp and clean. The aroma offers a slightly sweet apple and pear character with a subtle noble hop note. Soft on the palate, balanced in malt and bitterness, and refreshing through the finish.
