Mmmm...Kölsch!

I'm currently tapping a keglet of Fedorus Magnus Kölsch, and it's delicious! I didn't much care for it the first couple of times I made it, but this time I cold crashed it for about a week after reaching FG, and before kegging, and that may have made all the difference, because this is one swell beer; especially good for late Spring/early Summer, and I think I should make another batch in time for tapping when the weather really gets warm.
Here's my recipe for a 2.5g batch:
3# Pilsner malt
1# Munich
0.25# White Wheat
0.33 Oz Hallertau - 90 minutes
0.33 Oz Hallertau - 20 minutes
0.33 Oz Hallertau - 7 minutes
German Ale/Kölsch Yeast - WLP029 (that's my go-to, but if you prefer another, well, Brewer's Choice)
Came in at 5.2%, a clear golden color, and so drinkable, it's a crime.
