Creemore Springs Kölsch

Creemore Springs Brewery
Tap to rate
🌍 Canada · Kölsch · One of 42 Kölschs in hopIQ

Pale straw and clear, under a bright white head. The nose stays quiet: a tame fruitiness over a mild malt bouquet, with a floral hop note behind it. Fruity roundness leads on the palate and gives way quickly to a light briskness, with pale barley, cereal and a touch of honey filling the middle. Fermented warm with ale yeast and then lagered cold, which leaves the fruit of an ale and the clean edge of a lager side by side. Light to medium in body, the finish dry and quenching.

Appearance

Pale straw gold, brilliantly clear beneath a bright white head that settles to a fine collar with good adhesion to the glass. The carbonation is evident and lively, supporting a persistent foam structure that frames the beer throughout.

Aroma

Restrained and delicate on the nose, with soft fruity notes—green apple and subtle stone fruit—layered over a pale malt foundation. A gentle floral hop character emerges in the background, adding complexity without dominance, while the overall impression remains clean and composed.

Taste

Fruity roundness greets the palate on entry, transitioning quickly to a bright, crisp briskness. Pale barley, cereal grain, and a whisper of honey occupy the mid-palate, with low bitterness and balanced hop presence allowing the malt character to remain prominent. The body is light to medium, drinking smoothly without heaviness.

Finish

The finish is dry and quenching, with the fruity ale character and clean lager edge working in concert to clear the palate. A short to medium finish leaves no sticky sweetness, only refreshment.
