Strawberry Sky
Breckenridge Brewery & The Farm House

 

 

 

Clear gold color with a very slight pink tint and a decent foamy white head that recedes fairly quickly but does produce some nice lacing.
The aroma is Strawberry with light malt background.
The taste is also strawberry, slightly less prominent than the aroma but actually nicely balanced with the Kolsch base. Overall slightly dry with a fresh bread note supporting the strawberry. Very nice.
The body is light/medium, moderate carbonation, fairly smooth.
Altogether, this is a nice, refreshing brew that would be good on a warm spring or summer day. the strawberry flavor is not intrusive, should be good with most milder flavored food.

Poured from a 12oz can best by October 30th 2022

On the pour a roughly 2 finger head formed then over a couple minutes receded to a decent cap. Carbonation is fine but active in a clear golden body. Some light pulp/sediment is present.

Aroma is big on the strawberries, but not to the point of covering everything. Sort of like a radler. It's almost a real strawberry smell, but there is a bit of strawberry flavor vibe here. Quite a sweet aroma with some light malts hiding around.

Taste follows the aroma but is almost better. Again like a radler, a fruity beer not a fruity alcoholic drink masquerading as a beer. Lots of sweet strawberry in there, but not like a sweetened drink but more like strawberries are in beer. I honestly enjoy this a lot more than I thought I would.

Feel is light and drinkable but the sweetness does slow you down a bit. Pretty big carbonation bite on this one, and a medium finish in taste but the mouthfeel becomes neutral pretty quick.

Overall this is good! It tastes like straw berry and it tastes like beer. Most specific kolsch notes are a bit drowned out but the fruits combine with any kolsch esters very nicely. Tastes nice and isn't overly fruity to the point of just being a alcopop. Honestly pretty damn good.

Fresh strawberry muffins was my first impression of this beer. The flavor of this beer is light and delicious, however, I could've gone with heavier strawberry and a wheat flavor; and for sure would not have been upset with some creamy undertones if they dared. This beer pairs well with an early spring farmers market, Easter BBQ, or planting the garden in the warm air. Burpability 3/5

A glass of bubbling gold, this noticably fizzy Kölsch promises strawberry fields but delivers them more in smell than taste. Still though I'm not disappointed in that, a wheaty and zippy beer with a fruited backbone swirls around your tongue like lightning bugs. All around drinkable with a finish ending on a sweet dessert note that leaves you wanting just one more sip.

 

 

Part of a 15 can variety pack:
LOOK: Near clear pale straw yellow color, with an all white head that quickly recedes to a thin skin with side glass lace.
AROMA: Definite strawberry aroma along with some bread and floral hops.
TASTE: Bread malts, strawberry, some melon. A tad sour but very juicy
Has some wine cooler characteristics, overall pretty decent.

Poured from a can. Golden in color with a white head and lacing. Smells of strawberry, biscuit, smells very sweet. Strawberry flavor not near as prevalent as the smell, bread and malt round out the flavor. Nothing to get excited about

"Best enjoyed by 2/14/22"; drank 12/21/21 @ the Yarchives.

See-through orange/yellow appearance.

A violent pour yielded a huge, noisy white head; frothy lace.

Strawberry, mild wheat & faint cream notes in the nose.

Medium thin mouthfeel.

Strawberry syrup, seltzer water & faint cream flavors.

Pretty artificial & insubstantial; it might do the trick on a hot day, but I'll avoid this one.
