All Kolsch-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.

In 19th century Germany, a new style of beer began to appear around the ports of Cologne. The drinkable Golden Ale was named for its city—Kölsch—and it was a refreshing answer to hot summer days on the banks of the Rhine River. Inspired by our German brewing lineage, we set out to brew a refreshing Kölsch, with a 21st century update of ruby red grapefruit. The result is a crisp, bright-golden ale with a bready malt body and a mild hop bitterness that complement the perfect addition of tart, mouthwatering grapefruit. Prost!

A distinctively smooth and flavorful ale with a deep red hue and a rich, velvety smooth head.

An ale with a remarkably creamy white head and a body that is far more distinguished than standard American lagers.
