Four Peaks Kolsch

Can (as Sunbru Kolsch). Poured a clear paled gold with an average sized white head. Aroma of pale malt, bread and honey. Ok flavor with sweet malt, honey and a touch of yeasty fruitness. A light tingling of hops in the finish. An ok beer that does nothing to differentiate itself from others in the style, either positively or negatively.

I haven’t given this beer enough of a chance in the past, always eschewing it in favor of their better beers. The Kolsch is actually pretty tasty. Pours a nice straw color. Has a light malty nose, with some hints of other fruity-ish tones that I can’t really identify, but I am guessing are a by-product of the yeast. Taste is very clean, with very little hop bitterness coming through. This would make a great refreshment beer on a hot day. There is just enough interesting esters from the yeast to make this beer not completely boring.

On tap at their Scottsdale Grill & Tap. Crystal clear sunflower pour under a thin white head. Mildly fruity and bready aroma. More fruit in the flavor with touches of honeydew and a little pear. Light texture but not watery and a mellow, slightly sweet finish.

A- Clear straw hue, wisps of head and lacing S- Pale malts, vaguely lager-ish, not much going on with the aroma T- Clean and crisp ale reminiscent of a light lager, initial taste is pale malts and bread malts, finishes bitter, unimpressive M- Light-bodied, watery texture, moderate carbonation D- Easy drinking and smooth at 5%abv, not much flavor or body, I am not a big fan of the style and would unlikely seek this out again in the future

On tap in Tempe as Sunbru Kolsch. Pale gold color with a white head. Not much aroma. Flavor is lightly citrus over pale malt. Near medium body. Clean. Refreshing.

I didn’t have a problem with this beer at all. I was with nbutler11 and made the more storied move of committing to a full pint rather than the sampler shot. What I saw was a beer much lighter in color than the Kolsch I had in Cologne, Germany. It was much lighter as well, with watery fruit notes (underripe orange) and mild wheat - oddly no yeast or flour. This seems to be for anyone who wants something more fortified than a wit but doesn’t want to kick it up to an ale - in a college town, not sure who this would be...

Pours golden from the tap at Four Peaks with a trim white head. Mildly carbonated with faint peaches on the nose. As much as I’d like to say I remember the flavor, though, it was apparently THAT forgettable.

On tap at some hotel in some town in AZ - God I hate travel! Clear light yellow, decent bright white head and lacing. Bit of citrus on the nose and palate. Light malt and bread flavors with a touch of spices. Very soft on the palate, like a good pilsener, with good carbonation and an pleasant aftertaste. A nice simple beer, just not worth pursuing.
