Nico Köln Lager 4.8%

Named for Christa Päffgen under her singing alias Nico.

Nico hailed from Cologne, the city of Kölsch, an obergäriges (top-fermented) lagerbier.

This multi-award-winning lager pours pale and golden. A fragrant herbal hop aroma with lemon citrus and green apple notes. Light on the palate, a touch of bready maltiness, with more assertive hop character. The crisp bitterness makes it eminently drinkable. Look for the pear drop notes from the distinctive Kölsch yeast.

Judges comments: 

"We thought that the beer was very pleasant in every way. The nose was crisp and subtle and the maltiness was restrained and provided a delicious backbone."

"Easy-drinking, slightly hazed, straw-coloured lager with a sweet bready nose and a soft textured finish. Well balanced and you can't help think but that it's been well made to show such finesse."

Pairs perfectly with Nico - Afraid (of course).
