Description
The Brew Bus fermented in 2011 when our Founder Anthony Derby was a student at The University of Colorado. When he tried to visit 3 breweries in one day he quickly realized the need for a transportation service. In 2012 we started brewing our own craft beer under the simple mission to make high quality beer that we like to drink. Today, the good times continue to roll with our own independent brewery and tasting room.

Sample at GABF 10/07/2017, thanks to my bro for assistance with note-taking. Should have won GABF gold for best beer name. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a thin white head that evaporates quickly. Spotty lacing. Tart fruit, pickle and yeast aroma. Light-bodied with flavors of briny pickles, tart fruit and doughy malt. Pickle juice finish. Above average overall.

Thanks Willie.
This was poured into a mug.
The appearance was a moderately burnt amber color with a finger’s worth of sturdy white head. Must have held there for a good minute before dissipating to leave some light stringy lace.
The aroma had some toast, nice caramel/toffee malt features, some dried sweet wood, touch of floral, light herbal and a little bit of leather.
The flavor was malty dry with a crisp floral sweetness making a good effort to invade. Aftertaste was moderately leaning towards the toast and caramel malts. Finish was crisp and semi-sweet with the dryness.
The palate was between light and medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine. Flowed fairly nice along my tongue.
Overall, pretty nice as an Irish red ale. I wonder if that guy below me knows enough that this style is supposed to be poured into mugs for correct reviews.
