The Peacock and the Crane | Mad Fritz
ABV: 6.0%
IBU: 28
Style: Kölsch
Actively Produced
Description: Our Kolsch style Ale is not exactly what one might think of as a Kolsch. Its clearly far from home and a far cry from its defined character attributes yet we opted to play house and add some winemakers spin to it. The base malt is Scarlet from Alamosa CO and offers a clean malt spectrum that allows our yeast to push the style, while the St Helena well water and Hallertau hops add subtlety to favor profile and then aged in a Riesling barrel or Chardonnay barrel for three to four weeks (freshly emptied Chardonnay and Riesling barrels-we wanted some light wine character in the finished beer). Its clearly our own mad minds that have created this beautiful and delicately balanced beer as its more of a Kellerbier Ale, than a Kolsch.
