Description:
In 1906, the Kölsch-style beer originated from the Cologne region of Germany as a crisp and light beer to combat the summer heat. All Kölsch-style beers are easy-drinking and crisp, but Leinenkugel's Canoe Paddler adds a touch of rye for a slightly spicy flavor and a clean, dry finish. It's our take on a German classic that's perfect for winding down and relaxing. (Description provided by company)

Comments
Summertime Beer
Pours a transparent gold - with very noticeable carbonation. One finger head with moderate retention and average lacing.
A malty nose with a noticeable grain sweetness along with a touch of citrus. The taste follows, with a very prominent malt and grain sweetness. Very little hop flavor, but it does add a nice citrus notes to balance the sweetness. A fairly light body and high carbonation - very crisp and refreshing summer time beer.
