Dark Rock Kolsch Beer Kit – Part Grain Beer Kit

Dark Rock Kolsch Part Grain Beer Kit

Dark Rock Kolsch Beer is a style of beer originating in Cologne, Germany. The appearance is bright and clear with a straw-coloured hue. It is fermented with top-fermenting yeast and then chilled in a similar way to pilsner lagers. The taste is crisp and refreshing with a slightly malty sweetness. German hops accentuate the flavour, which can be described as soft and delicate with very little bitterness. This kit produces 40 pints at 4.8% ABV.
