4.9/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 4.5
On tap at Red Truck, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out herbal hops, some vegetal notes, and biscuity malt. Flavour has a caramel malt character upfront, with subdued herbal hops and bready notes. Too malty, not enough hops, and just all round weakly constructed. Classic Red Truck.

On tap at Red Truck, pours a dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out red fruits, light saison yeast and floral fruity esters. Flavour is pretty lame, with subdued berries, floral notes and fruity esters. Nothing like a saison and the fruit barely comes through. Lame stuff.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out crisp crackery malt upfront and cereal malts. Flavour is very clean, with crisp crackery malt, gentle hops and clean cereal notes. Crisp and clean. Surprisingly nice for what it is.

Aroma is modest lager hints. Has minimal head and a light ruby body. Flavour is soft amber with caramel hints. Weak and sugary on the mouth. This tastes like a mediocre amber, aside from the red colour I couldn't taste much of elderberries either.

Minimal head and clear copper body. Soft lager aroma with little else. Flavour is soft lager with hints of brown sugar. Sweet finish. Decidedly average.

Draught at the brewery
Blond colour, clean. Lean and dry, it feels like a Lager, with a tiny hint of citrusy hops.
Clean but unexciting.

Draught at the brewery
Black color. Mild roasted malts here, soft body; short final; quite weak and without any characteristic of an Imperial Stout, no body, no depth; it's just a regular Stout with more alcohol.

Draught at the brewery
Hazy golden color. Aroma of PNW hops, citrusy and mildly piney. The malt base also shows some caramel, it's lean, Light residual sweetness, touch of biscuit, then the Cascade-like hops, some hop resins, robust bitterness.
Clean, not very vibrant, but ok.
