The brew is a German Kolasch. It is gold color, Aromas of raisin bread toast and honeyed citrus with a supple, lively, finely carbonated, dry fruity medium body. It is a Kolsch-style beer, that has a clean, crisp, yet deceptively complex brew which features a delicate balance between soft malt ans subtle fruity hoppiness.

Check out Rabbit Hole Brewing Company, and get your hands on a cold ‘561’.
