Mühlen Kölsch

Tap to rate

Mühlen Kölsch is brewed to the Kölsch Convention from barley malt at an original gravity of 11.7 °P, fermented with top-fermenting yeast and filtered to a clear golden beer under a firm white head. The brand stresses its malty character: pale malt, bread crust and cracker-like grain lead, with a faint apple fruitiness from the ale yeast. Grassy, herbal and lightly floral hop notes follow, and the finish is dry, with a moderate bitterness that lingers briefly.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and malty, with bread-crust and grain-forward flavors establishing the beer's character. Mid-palate remains clean and smooth, with moderate body and the apple note subtly present. The bitterness arrives with restraint—moderate and well-integrated—allowing the malt foundation to remain prominent throughout.
