Kolsch is a lighter German-style ale. This beer from Heist Brewing here in Charlotte, NC. This beer is Because Stone Kolsch Said So, 4.8% ABV. I have not had a lot of beer from Heist. This beer pours a clear golden color with a one-finger white head that fades steadily into a white halo. The aroma is of light bread, some sweetness, with a clean smell. The flavor is dry but light, clean, and sweet. The mouthfeel is light and refreshing. Then this Kolsch ale finishes with a dry flavor that has a hint of sweetness. The aftertaste is also dry. But less dry with a nice light sweet note. This Heist Brewery Kolsch is good, but it didn’t blow me away or wows me. It was a little above average. I give Because Stone Kolsch Said So a C+. It is refreshing and clean, but the flavors are muted. This Ale isn’t a beer I wouldn’t tell you not to buy. I am warning you that it’s just slightly above average. Please be kind, be safe and remember, always enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
