Commercial Description:
Red Truck IPA is an American India Pale Ale, generously dry hopped to give this beer a full hop aroma and flavor, but with a strong caramel malt profile that balances the intense hop flavor and aroma with a slight sweetness that makes this beer a rich experience in flavor.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a tightly bubbled head, good retention, decorative lacing, over a dark orange golden, slightly cloudy body....nose is minimally floral, but has some pine and resin to it....initial taste is of hop bitterness which gradually expands on the tongue....mouth feel is OK, but the balance between, hop and malt is off.

(12oz bottle, thanks acrdz) Medium beige head atop crystal clear amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, orange/floral, some bread. Taste is medium sweet, orange/grapefruit, some caramel, light floral. APAish.

12oz bottle, courtesy of acrdz. Thanks, Mike! Pours a slightly hazy, orange-amber color; light khaki head with fine-bubbled lacing. Lots of earthiness and citrus bitterness in the aroma; slightly lactic tartness; mild infection? It’s on the edge. Medium mouthfeel: good amounts of earthy bitterness and candy sugar malts; more malt-forward than any fully defined hop character; basic, underhopped IPA. Medium finish: bread, some huskiness, and lingering mild citrus bitterness.

12oz bottle pours light caramel amber in color with a small head. Nose centers mostly on some lightly sweet/hoppy fruits, but there’s a mild yet distinct nut/caramel/bread note that I don’t really dig. The hop bitterness and flavor never really develops into anything appreciable, instead it’s muddled and simple and ultimately a disappointment.
