A dialectal
adjective
meaning 'of or pertaining to
Cologne
,
Germany
'.
The very special
beer
brewn in Cologne and nowhere else. Kölsch is very light on the
alcohol
, is loved by millions for its refreshing taste, and hated passionately by at least as many people, who generally deride it as being just water with a twist. If you happen to drink Kölsch in Cologne, you'll notice the glasses are very small (just 0.2
l
as opposed to the usual 0.3, 0.4 or 0.5), which has caused people to nickname them 'test tubes'. You'll also notice that the waiter will take replace every empty glass with a refill without asking you. The secret to make the waiter stop bringing you new Kölsch is covering your glass with your
beer mat
.
The strange German
dialect
spoken in Cologne and nowhere else, pretty similar to the language of the nearby
Netherlands
and
Belgium
(in my book at least -- they say it's not all that influenced by
Dutch
, but it sure sounds like it). Very hard to understand even if you understand German. For some reason,
Kölsch
rock
music is quite popular in Germany (

/
Wolfgang Niedecken
