Original Beer Company Fedora Kölsch

Fedora pours clean and bright, the kind of Kölsch that doesn't announce itself loudly but rewards attention. There's a delicate, almost floral note underneath—not perfumy, just elegant—and the carbonation feels refined, like it's been thought through. The finish is where Fedora shows its hand: it retreats gracefully, leaving you with a whisper of grain sweetness rather than a crisp snap. It's the beer equivalent of a well-tailored shirt—understated, precise, and designed to make you want another sip without demanding it.

Reissdorf Kölsch

Reissdorf comes in with more presence. You taste the slight noble hop character immediately—it's there, assertive but not aggressive—and the malt backbone feels more pronounced, grainier. The carbonation has that traditional German brewery crispness, the kind that makes your mouth feel alive. The finish dries faster than Fedora, leaving behind a subtle bitterness that lingers just long enough to remind you this beer has opinions. It's the classic Cologne style executed without apology or modernization.
