Kölsch

I just got done brewing a Kölsch. Kölsch is described in the Northern Brewer catalog this way:
This pale, light-bodied golden ale is copyrighted by, brewed in, and named for the German city of Köln. Kölschbier is traditionally given a long, cold aging period like a lager, which makes for a very smooth and clean beer. A small dose of German Hallertau hops gives a little authentic dryness without making the beer bitter—very refreshing.

The liquid yeast pitched into this batch arrived by UPS slushy and nearly frozen, so it will be interesting to see how this one works out.
