On tap at Red Truck, pours a clear pale copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out light cereal malts and straw. Flavour is bright and clean, with lots of straw, cereal malts, and light grass. Bright and clean. Simple but decent.

On tap at Red Truck, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out candied sugar, metallic notes, and floral hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with Belgian yeast, floral hops, and biscuity malt. A bit metallic, but it's a decent Belgian. Alright.

On tap at Red Truck, pours a near-opaque bright yellow with a small white head. Aroma is very yeasty and chalky, with pithy stone fruits upfront, with dank hops, and filthy yeast. Flavour is full of chalky yeast, with dank hops, and pithy stone fruits. This is everything I can't stand about this style - chalky yeast bomb. Incompetent.

Cloudy bright pink body and little foam. Inhaling deeply, I smell nothing (and yes I do have an okay sense of smell). Flavour is subdued fruit skins of no distinction. Crisp finish, full enough, but highly nondescript and extremely boring.

Brownish copper body and almost no head. Soft wet penny aroma and nothing else. Flavour is coppery malt with no complexity. Kind of thin on the mouth. Meets all targets but boring... the boardroom must be pleased.

Soft sweet aroma like a cream soda. Okay head on mostly clear yellow body but with some milky character. Flavour is like wet popcorn - with a bit of alcohol. Makes me wonder what's the point, and now I worry about the lineup to the urinals in the bathroom.

Soft semi-sweet grain on the nose, modest clearish yellow ochre body and tiny foam on top. Flavour is mild fermented grain with some sharp yeast. Kind of watery. This probably capture's Red Truck's approach to beer perfectly- exceedingly boring but somehow still drinkable.

Clearish brown body and no foam. Smells like an American penny dropped in a toilet at a biker bar in San Diego. Flavour is much the same, drinking that toilet water as you're dunked for not making the drop in Tijuana. Either way, this isn't something you want to remember.

Sweet candy hops on the nose, has milky yellow body with little head. Flavour is sweet and bitter (sweet-sour pork!) Hops and nothing else. Reasonably crisp finish. A serviceable and middling IPA.
