On tap at Red Truck, pours a deep dark mahogany with a medium tan head. Aroma brings out a lot of dusty crusty bready malts. Flavour is big on the bready malts as well, with a slight hint of fruitiness. No hop character but there is also no residual sweetness. Fairly ordinary but competently brewed. Meh.

A wet hop collab. Hazy light amber. Thin head. Aroma is slightly biscuity, slightly earthy hop. Balanced palate is earthy first, lightly bitter, a bit biscuity, vaguely dry and overall pretty simple golden ale.

Draught at the brewery
Golden color, clean, with small frothy head. The aroma is boring, the flavor is a bit better, still ordinary, with some biscuity note, some dry cereals; off-dry mouthfeel, correct bitterness, and infinitesimal fruity esters in the final.
Easy beer, clean though.

Draft - Sweet buttery and Bready notes. Clear gold with a decent white head. Sweet Bready notes and pale malts. Nice but very English and hops not really a factor.

On tap at Red Truck, pours black with a small brown head. Aroma brings out dry oats, some cocoa and a little roast. Flavour is along the same lines, with nicely roasted malt, oats, and dry cocoa. Quite full-bodied for a 4.5% Irish stout. Very roasted on the finish. Nice stuff.

On tap at Red Truck, pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma is earthy and floral in the hop department, with a bit of biscuity malt. Flavour is very earthy and feety, with herbal hops in there as well, and a floral finish. Clean and drinkable, with a nice fresh hop quality. Solid.
