Dude.

Perhaps it's the much higher carbonation level of the soda, the carbonic acid is leaching some flavor from the beverage line?
Is this just on one keg of soda, or has it happened with multiple kegs of soda? Perhaps it's the contents of the keg itself, not the lines that are the problem?

Cola is very acidic (pH 2.5-3), that might be the problem. Try discarding the first ounce or so of the pour.

It has happened on every keg of cola I have made so far. I have filled up 4 kegs of Coke using 2 liter bottles, and just recently mixed up a batch of cola from Sodastream syrup and had the same results. I did suspect it was a result of the acidity of cola, but was hoping there was an alternative type of line I could use. Discarding the first few ounces from each pour works, I just don't like wasting my cola. Thanks again.

There's got to be a suitable tubing. Try and find out, if nobody here knows, what fast food restaurants use on their fountains.
