Four Peaks Fools Gold

Brewed by Four Peaks Brewing Company
Style: Bohemian Pilsener
Tempe, Arizona USA

This beer has a nice creamy, pale colored head. The beer itself is a full gold color and is quite clear. The aroma is fruity with notes of apricot and peaches. This beer is quite smooth and creamy on the palate up front. There is a light bitterness in the finish, which definitely matches the dominant hoppy fruit notes quite well. I get notes of apricots, and sweet citrus fruits like grapefruit. This is nice and light on the palate and it goes down so fast, and I still want there to be more in my glass. This is so nice, refreshingly hoppy and light, perfect as a summer quaffer.

On draught at Tempe brewpub: Clear golden yellow with a thin white head that does hav nice retention. The aroma is spicy, earthy, and floral hops (but not very assertive), light fruits, along with a hint of dusty malt. The taste is very crisp, clean, and yet round, creamy and full. The carbonation is moderate, yet sprizty and lively on the tongue, while the body is light. Flavors of spicy/grassy/floral hops come through, but by no means are anything like an IPa, along with sweet fruit, light earthy bread, and doughy malts. Very approachable for the average drinker, and not the imperial/harvest/double barrel-aged type that’s going to get talked up on ratebeer, but a very solidly brewed beer all around.

Nicely aromatic -- balanced malty and hoppy. Golden blond color. Flavor is sharp. Has some hop edginess (not quite bitter, but almost . . . edgy). The malts balance out the bitterness, which is what keeps it from being too bitter. Wakes your palate up!

Tap at Tempe. Pours a clear golden color with a white head. Aroma is of spicy earthy saaz hops and malt. Flavor is crisp, spicy hops, caramel malt, finish is very clean and refreshing. Great summer brew.

Light golden color. Aroma is nicely balanced with the malt and hops, faint earth tones. Medium bodied, not complex though but smooth with a little bite. A good summer starter beer.

tap at the brewpub-pours a golden yellow hue with a nice white head. big grainy/spicy german hop aroma. flavors were haygrass, lemon and big spicy german hops. pretty decent for a light beer from this brewery!

Summery lager nose - floralish hops, toasted malt. Hoppier than the nose suggests, earthy bready malt, tingly bready finish.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear golden color with thin white head. Sprucy noble hop aroma with a hint of cereal grains. Grains dominate the flavor with a touch of sweetness. The finish is somewhat bitter. Nice beer.
