Beers similar to Sester Kölsch

Kölsch·Germany·4.8% ABV·One of 84 Kölschs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Sester Kölsch's malty and dry character. Sester Kölsch is a top-fermented pale beer brewed from barley malt, wheat malt and hops. It pours a clear golden yellow under a modest white head. The nose is restrained, with soft notes of bread crumb, a hint of green apple and a light herbal hop note. On the palate a gently sweet cereal base meets a mild, slightly spicy bitterness; the body is light to medium and lively with carbonation, and the finish turns dry with a faint lingering hop spice.
