🌍 Italy · Kölsch · One of 24 Kölschs in hopIQ

Rock Brewery's light Kölsch — named after the Saracen (Arab) heritage of 9th-to-11th century Palermo, the period when Sicily was one of the most cosmopolitan places in the Mediterranean world under Arab-Norman rule. A far superior alternative to the usual Friday night lager: clean, crisp, and elegantly malty with a soft floral hop character. The everyday gateway beer of Palermo's new craft scene.
