Clean Cut Inspired by Kölsch

Clean Cut Inspired by Kölsch is, as you’d imagine, a Kölsch-style ale from Ottawa, Ontario’s Beyond the Pale Brewing. A 5% alcohol brew, CC comes in 473mL red, white, and blue cans. The beer inside is a cloudy straw gold number with a thin nimbus of white head.

The beer has a pleasantly crisp straw nose, backed with a gust of bitterness. The mouthfeel is a bit thin, but the flavour has grain and hay freshness. For finish, there is a slightly dry hops vibe.

I’d have expected this beer to be a bit clearer. It tastes fresh and fun, but not all that memorable.

Rating: 7.0 out of 10.
