King River Brewing Kolsch

While it didn't take long for King River Brewing to find local admirers of beers such as his IPA and Altbier, it pays to have an entry-level beer when you're operating a brewpub, particularly when you're located in the country. That's the role played by this Kolsch, a role that's earned it the subtitle "The Elbow Bender" given that's what it'll have session drinkers doing.

It's a simple beer: some light honey malt sweetness and the sort of dry finish that will offer more mainstream drinkers some familiarity. Add in a decent bitterness and light notes of spiced hops and you have a beer that's able to transport you to Cologne and unsurprisingly is one of King River's most frequently brewed.
