“As a huge fan of light lagers,” Jo says, “when I am wanting something a touch 'more' without the guilt of the high alcohol content, I go for a true Kölsch from Cologne, Germany.” Similar to a light lager, Kölsch is refreshing, pale in color, light-bodied, and low in alcohol - typically under 5% ABV. But what makes Kölsch unique is that it is a hybrid beer, incorporating aspects of both ale and lager into a single glass.
Gose is a historic German ale in the sour category, brewed using lactic fermentation to create a tart, acidic flavor profile. What makes gose stand out from other sours is the addition of salt and coriander.
