Claritas is our 2016 World Beer Cup–winning Kölsch ale. This refreshingly smooth, authentically German beer is light straw in color, infused with light fruit and bready aromatics from the German Pilsner malt, hops, and yeast. The result is a smooth and dry ale with a refreshingly clean finish.

Can. Hazy yellowish golden colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is grass, hay, some grains and mild herbs. Flavour is bready, grainy, grassy and hayish with some mild bitterness as well.

Pours golden. Bit of foam, aroma of grassy hops, bit of barley and fresh bread. Taste has also some herbal hops. Some bitterness mingling with lager-like soft maltiness of this beer. Quite nice actually, especially refreshing on a hot summer day.
