Ein Kølich

Tap to rate

A fresh, elegant Kölsch with floral notes and a light spicy undertone, built on Hallertauer Mittelfrüh and Tettnang aroma hops. Wheat malt joins the barley malt, and the beer is served unfiltered and unpasteurised. From Gamborg, a brewery in Middelfart that began in Stefan's cellar and garage and now has Danny as its brewmaster.
