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.

Draft. Poured clear amber color with an average fizzy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate sweet malt aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carfbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met and the beer went well with BBQ Chicken Salad.

Enjoyed on tap at the Scottsdale location (brewed in Tempe). Fresh smell, light yellow and very lacey. A mild bitterness. Hits the mark, as they mostly do,batting average rather than home run hitters, showing skill. Average mouthfeel. A good start, and nicely drinkable at lunchtime.
