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.

Very dark brown. Thin head. Abundant roasty aroma is quite expressive. Decent body. Quite dry, hoppy with lots of chocolate. Big and balanced.

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.

Draught at the brewpub
Blond color. A simple Lager, with some hidden quality (light crispy malt), low bitterness in the beginning, ordinay bitterness at the end; the finish is quite dry.

Golden colour. Bright. Thick, rich foam. Fresh bready malt aroma with a little bit of grassy hop. Very fresh bread crust flavour. Moderate body. Hops are light, slighlty grassy. Very clean. Typical of Mark James lagers - very well made.
