A sunnier IPA-fruited dry-hopped kolsch collab with Imprint. Dry yellow cleared moderation brings mild lemony grapefruit pith bittering, tart yellow grape esters and mandarin orange snips to saltily spiced herbage over neutral white bread base.

CHECKERSPOT 24 KARAT KOLSCH
Mustier kolsch brings dry lemon pith spritz and desiccated orange musk to mild cilantro herbage above doughy white breading. Simple golden clear moderation.
TWO GOATS GOATMASTER KOLSCH
Crisply clean kolsch stays dry as zesty lemony orange spritz picks up raw grained barnyard acridity and celery watered snip (and mild dried cherry spec) over its white breaded base.
TRIPPING ANIMALS KILLER KOLSCH
On tap at Ambulance, crisply clean kolsch capitulates champagne-sparkled green grape esters, musty green apple tartness and grassy hop astringency to dry mineral grain musk, gaining a slight raw-honeyed bittering.
450 NORTH HONEY KOLSCH
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, raw-honeyed champagne-splashed kolsch malting kicks back while sour lemon fizz contrasts sweet doughy breading.
DECIDUOUS SIMPLE UNION KOLSCH
On tap at Ambulance, brisk lemon-candied tartness and musty green grape esters fade into subdued white breaded pilsner malting as penetrative oily hop bittering lingers.
1718 PRETTY WORK KOLSCH
Off-dry pale yellowed moderation placates brisk lemon wedging with peppery lemongrass spicing over soft white bread base.
FRENCH BROAD RIVER GATEWAY KOLSCH
Easygoing dry light body brings lemon-oiled Saaz/Perle hop herbage to French breaded wheaty pilsner malting, picking up slight skunked grassiness. Better than decent.
TRILLIUM SPRANG KOLSCH INSPIRED ALE
On tap at Growler & Gill, white winey Nelson Sauvin hops redirect wavering kolsch variant as green grape, gooseberry and guava tartness upends moderate lemon pith bittering, herbal white peppering and mild green tea sneak. Mineral grained pilsner malts and dry rye breading placate dextrin starching. Offbeat.
REVERIE FRUIT OF THE ZOOM LIME & RASPBERRY KOLSCH
Somewhat peculiar stylistic variant, part of Reverie’s rotating fruited kolsch series, lets zestful limey raspberry spritz take on questionable botanical cologne musk, clean celery crisping and cucumber-watered watermelon rind snip over thicker than expected honeyed malt bottom.
REVERIE YOU’RE ON MUTE KOLSCH
Showing more depth and sour fruiting than typical kolsch styling, green grape tannins, lemon pith bittering and moldy orange mustiness receive champagne sparkle over grainy pilsner malts. Musky hop oiled phenols, dried grassiness and slight herbage pick up cucumber watering.
OAKFLOWER STATION KOLSCH
On tap at Taphouse 15, dry straw-yellowed light body stays too subtle as slightly soured champagne-sparkled green grape tannins seep into grassy hop stead at washed-out pilsner malt base. Suited to mellower sessionable thirsts.
