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.

Taste comprises caramel, biscuit, toffee, light spice, touch of fruit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, sweet malt and light hop bitterness in the close. Ok for style.

Considering this was an American Pale Wheat Ale, this was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt orange color with a one finger white foamy to bubbly head that dissipated quickly leaving some light stringy lacing that slides immediately.
The smell had a big glossy sweet orange over top of some light speckled grainy and grassy sweet hops.
The taste copied the smell and carried the orange sweetly into the aftertaste and left a sweet wet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a clear sessionability about it. Carbonated nicely, pure sweet orange flowed over a wheat base to broaden nicely over my tongue.
Overall, I say this was a solid American Pale Wheat ale, maybe nothing over the top but definitely crushable on a hot Spring day.

12oz can pours with a nice dark brown body that supports a tan head of foam. The aroma offers up malt sweetened roasted malts, chocolate and then a thin layer of molasses and caramel malts. The taste is pretty thick with malt and molasses sweetness that sweetens up the roasted malts and chocolate as well as earthy coffee goodness. In the background I get some spicy black licorice. Very nice.

Meh. Astringent grassy and citrus hops. Harsh and green. I like the dry white bread malts. Lingering notes of citrus and vague tropical fruit, rough pithy bitterness.

Can shared during RBWG 2015 - Tampa. Pours clear, amber-gold with a foamy off-white head. The nose is grainy toast and orange rind. Light to medium sweet flavor with leafy hops, faint chocolate, bitter earth. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Fairly sugary on the finish with notes of toasted grains, filter coffee and oranges. OK.
