Beers similar to Honey Kolsch

Kölsch·Canada·4.8% ABV·One of 71 Kölschs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Honey Kolsch's floral and dry character. A Kölsch with honey from the Okanagan stirred into a grist of pale and wheat malt. German Hercules and Czech Saaz supply the hop side and come across floral with a light herbal edge, while the honey adds a soft blossom sweetness rather than a syrupy one. Cool, clean fermentation keeps fruit esters quiet; at 17 IBU the finish stays balanced and carries a fine grainy dryness underneath.
