Very pale gold, bready, lightly fruity, effervescent, intense clarity. Kolsch offers the simple pleasures of a well crafted beer.

Despite it’s rich color, the body is more reminiscent of an India Pale Ale, not heavy like a porter or stout. 7.5% ABV.
2) Fish Tale Organic Blonde
A light bodied and golden summer seasonal, Fish Tale Organic Blonde Ale is a matchless companion to the glories of a Cascadian summer. Brewed with just a schmatering of flake barley, Organic Blonde sports subtle spicy tones that complement the honey sweetness of its pale malt to a tee. ABV 4%.
3) Leavenworth Premium Lager
A real, premium lager, this brew shows the distinct influence of malt and hops but with a slightly softer side. Combining traditional Bavarian pilsener flavors with the bolder Northwest craft beer profile, the result is unusually tasty. ABV 5%.
