About

Reissdorf Kölsch from Privat-Brauerei Heinrich Reissdorf is a definitive example of Cologne's signature beer style. Founded in 1894, this brewery upholds the authentic Kölsch tradition through generations. The beer is brewed with ale yeast but cold-conditioned like a lager, creating a distinctive balance of subtle fruitiness and clean dryness. Pale gold and crystal-clear, Reissdorf Kölsch opens with a minty, hoppy aroma and hints of lemon citrus. The palate brings cracker-like malt and restrained sweetness, with just enough bitterness to define the character. A delicate dryness carries through to a crisp finish. This is sessionable refinement—understated, dry, and made for easy drinking.
