Deciduous Trodden

Trodden by Deciduous is a remarkable take on the Kölsch style, crafted with precision in the heart of New Hampshire. This beer stands out among its peers with a robust 8.5% ABV, offering a slightly bolder experience than typical Kölsch varieties. It presents a harmonious blend of rich malt undertones, complemented by a subtle hoppy bitterness that is captured within its 60 IBU rating. This intricate balance gives Trodden a distinctive character, appealing to those who appreciate both depth and refreshment in their beer. As you pour Trodden, expect a golden hue that is both inviting and indicative of its rich malt profile. On the palate, you'll find a satisfying malt backbone that is neither overwhelming nor too subtle, allowing the hops to impart just the right amount of bitterness. This results in a smooth, easy-drinking beer that captures the essence of the Kölsch style while offering a unique twist with its higher alcohol content. For the optimal tasting experience, Trodden is best served chilled, ideally between 45 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Such a temperature range allows its complex flavors to shine without compromising the refreshing qualities of the Kölsch style. A tall, narrow glass, such as a stange, is ideal for serving, as it helps to maintain the beer’s carbonation and enhance its aromatic qualities. Pair Trodden with light fare to truly let its flavors sing. Think of dishes that complement its malt sweetness and hoppy notes, such as soft pretzels, grilled sausages, or a crisp Caesar salad. The beer's clean finish and balanced bitterness also make it a delightful match for seafood, particularly grilled shrimp or mild white fish. Whether you're enjoying a casual meal or a more curated culinary adventure, Trodden promises to be a memorable companion, delivering a satisfying blend of taste and refreshment.
