Tomkins Kolsch
A Kolsch is a light style of German beer that was officially "defined" in the 1980s. In the European Union, Kolsches have a protected geographical indication (like champagne), and must be produced in Cologne, Germany. This protection does not extend to the Americas, and many American breweries brew this style quite frequently.
This Kolsch in particular has a slightly floral taste, reminiscent of hay or grass. It is very lightly hopped, and light, crisp, and refreshing. This beer is paired with a raspberry dijon honey mustard.
Musically, this piece is very light and crisp, much like the beer. Glass armonica, piano, synths, celesta, and a childrens choir create a very delicate and balanced musical texture to highlight the subtle crispness of this beer.
