This variety is the regional specialty of Cologne, hence the name. Koelsch beers are very similar to <em>altbiers<\/em> in technology, manufacture, and flavor. This koelsch from <em>Onuma Brewery<\/em> in Southwest Hokkaido has a clear, light malt flavor and a moderate bitter note, typical of the variety. The bitter note is lower than the <em>Hakodate Beer<\/em> koelsch \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the only other example of this variety that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve tried. Although the hopping has provided the bitter, it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t impart any sweetness of flowery notes. The blond color and clean flavor is not unlike a light, dry lager. The initial flavor is dry and crisp, with the bitter in the middle, and a light maltiness in the finish. The carbonation is moderate. This is a very drinkable beer.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>5% ABV<\/p>\n<p>Highly Recommended<\/p>\n<p>Not currently available outside the JDM<\/p>\n<p>Four out of four drunken monkeys<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/koelsch_back.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-attachment-id=\"1368\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/index.php\/2008\/10\/03\/onuma-brewery-koelsch-jibiiru\/koelsch_back\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/koelsch_back1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"900,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon PowerShot SD600&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1222454643&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5.8&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.25&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"koelsch_back\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/koelsch_back1-225x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/koelsch_back1-768x1024.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1368\" style=\"margin: 5px;\" title=\"koelsch_back\" src=\"http:\/\/www.studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/koelsch_back.jpg\" alt=\"Onuma Koelsch back\" width=\"150\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/koelsch_info.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-attachment-id=\"1369\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/index.php\/2008\/10\/03\/onuma-brewery-koelsch-jibiiru\/koelsch_info\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/koelsch_info1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"900,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon PowerShot SD600&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1222454744&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5.8&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.3&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"koelsch_info\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/koelsch_info1-225x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/koelsch_info1-768x1024.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1369\" style=\"margin: 5px;\" title=\"koelsch_info\" src=\"http:\/\/www.studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/koelsch_info.jpg\" alt=\"Onuma Koelsch info\" width=\"150\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/koelsch_upc.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-attachment-id=\"1370\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/index.php\/2008\/10\/03\/onuma-brewery-koelsch-jibiiru\/koelsch_upc\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/koelsch_upc1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"900,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon PowerShot SD600&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1222454721&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5.8&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.3&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"koelsch_upc\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/koelsch_upc1-225x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/koelsch_upc1-768x1024.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1370\" style=\"margin: 5px;\" title=\"koelsch_upc\" src=\"http:\/\/www.studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/koelsch_upc.jpg\" alt=\"Onuma Koelsch UPC\" width=\"150\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Koelsch beers are old-style beers that use top-fermenting yeasts like ales, but the yeasts are active at warmer temperatures.
