On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a hazy yellow with a thin head. Sweet aroma of dough and a good balance of hops/malts. Flavour is sweet dough, with a smooth palate. Quite solid.

Draft, Alibi Room. Hazy golden-sandy colour. Very thin head. The aroma has a phenolic accent but also some slightly doughy, bready pale malts. Phenolic character, some heavy pale malts that come close to being plasticy and cloying. Slight apple notes and slight alcohol. For me, an okay rendition that misses the major pitfalls (not too phenolic or cloying) but also misses the major selling points (dryness, subtle yeast) of the style.

2014-09-08, cask at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver, as Red Truck Amber Ale, 7-4-7-4-15=37
Cloudy amber color with no head. Mild fruity aroma, lean flavor with some yeast, and good hopping, more fruity than bitter, a bit resiny.
Yeasty but good.
2008-07-17, draught at the brewpub, as Red Truck Ale, 6-3-6-3-13=31
Red amber color. It’s the twin sister of the Irish Honey Ale, but mellower, sweeter, more perfumy (so far, better) and a light breadish character.
