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.

I tasted this beer in Glenwood, close to Palisades, so it was probably way fresher than that enjoyed by our PA friends. Lovely white head, a bit cloudy. Hops were awesome, very floral up front (maybe they upped the hops in response to the suggestions). A slight hint of sweetness, and nice bitter finish. Honestly, one of the best IPAs I’ve had and I love IPAs (when in the East I love Dogfish 60 and 90 minute and Victory IPA). Maybe RedTruck doesnt travel well (it is an early 50s Chevy you know). Try it again locally.

12oz bottle shared courtesy of DenverLogan. Poured a medium and cloudy amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of orange peel, spices, and light pine. Tastes of oranges, pine, light caramel, and a little fruity. Not overly bitter.

Thanks Logan. Bright amber body with a fading, sudsy off-white head. Aroma of nice deep woodsy hops, mild citrus, a note of cinnamon, and some sweet crystal malt. Flavor includes tea notes with good malt character and medium bitterness. The hops seem a little faded here. Good overall. Could be great fresh.

Thanks to whaleman. Pours a slightly hazy orange amber with an off white lightly lacing head. Aroma of orange, pine and a sweet caramel malt balance. Flavor of piney hops and some citrus. Very decent IPA.

Pours a filtered deep amber with long-lasting white head. Aroma is caramel and cookie malt with a very lite touch of grapefruity hops. Needs way more hop aroma. Med. bodied. Fragrant floral hop flavors are well balnced with the malts but this is leaning way too hard on the malts for an IPA. I have had many Pale ale with more hops than this. Finish is med. bitter but not dry at all. Nice beer but not really much of an IPA.

Perfumy hops, borderline cologne. Sweet front. Standard tingling carbonation. Moderate bitterness in the finish, progressively building as I drank. Unexceptional appearance.
