Brew Bus Brewing Reviews

robinvboyer	0.5 Brew Bus You're My Boy, Blue! This is quite possibly the most abnoxious artificial flavours I've ever tasted. This is the definition of fake blueberry flavouring. I can't taste anything else other than fake blueberry. Drain pour. Monday, December 18, 2023
ryanhunter_4	3.4 Brew Bus You're My Boy, Blue! 12 oz can poured at home. Day 15 of the craft beer advent calendar. Pours golden with a white head. Smells like blueberry muffins. Taste is the same. Easy to drink but a little too sweet for my liking. Saturday, December 16, 2023
andyhwcinc	3.9 Brew Bus You're My Boy, Blue! Very much enjoy this one. One of the better fruit lagers I’ve had, nice presence of blueberry without being overwhelming or sweet. Goes down with a light bitterness. Will keep going back to this! Sunday, January 29, 2023
jgb9348	3.1 Brew Bus You're My Boy, Blue! Pretty hazy golden and light peach coloured body with a slight straw yellow tint, all with a thin pure white head that fades very quickly. Aroma of slight wheat and grain flavour with a ton of blueberry notes that make this seem very fruity, but there isn't so much sweetness, at least in the nose. Medium-bodied; Rich blueberry and clean wheat flavours dominate here with a slight tart and rustic quality along with a good sweetness, but the fresh blueberries are very nice here, especially for the summer (or in this case, Winter) heat here in Florida. Aftertaste shows a good wheatie profile with a lot of the blueberries of course, but some clean malts, a nice level of sweetness and even a tart kick from the fruit, but nice throughout and while quite fruity and blueberry-y, it's pretty much what I expected. Overall, a nice and enjoyable beer to have local here in Florida and worth trying when other richer beers or deeper beers have already made their mark on you. Nice to sample, especially local and on draught! I sampled this sixteen ounce pour on draught at Ford's Garage in Orlando, Florida on 29-December-2022 for US$7,00 with my wife and three kids while away on vacation. Thursday, January 26, 2023
solidfunk	3.2 Brew Bus Basic B!tch Roast and pumpkin spice. I didn't realize this was a pumpkin beer when I bought it, or definitely wouldn't have bothered. That being said it wasn't bad. Still some stout elements here. A little milk. Black pour with decent mocha head. Bittersweet finish. Can that nearly exploded in my car after I bought it. Sunday, July 3, 2022
Tmoney99	3.4 Brew Bus Tangerine Splash 16oz can. Poured clear orange amber color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate citrus balanced aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Moderate bittersweet flavor with a moderate citrus bittersweet finish of medium duration. This soft beer met my expectations. Wednesday, March 2, 2022
Kleg	3.6 Brew Bus Fluffernutter Spread 12 oz. can from Total Wine - Melbourne. Pours a super dark brown color with a small beige head and fair retention. Almost no lacing. Sweet chocolate malt aroma. Very dark roasted chocolate flavor with enough lactose to help smooth out the 10.0% ABV. Low carbonation. Slick mouthfeel. I'm not picking up any peanut flavor. The 10.0% ABV is warming, but less aggressive then most imperial stouts. Overall it's a decent beer, but not worth $5.50 a can. Friday, August 13, 2021
Bradstacey	2 Brew Bus You're My Boy, Blue! Tastes like blueberry. Not much else. Wouldn't get it again, but didn't hate it. Tuesday, June 22, 2021
Kleg	1.5 Brew Bus Almond Coconut Spread 16 oz draft at The Mansion. Clear super dark mahogany color with a beige head and very good retention. Limited lacing. Boozy aroma. Flavors of coconut and strong booze. More alcohol flavor than anything else. The 10% ABV is not hidden at all. Way too strong. It's smooth, considering the ABV, but the alcohol just drowns out any would-be flavors. Thin mouthfeel too. Saturday, May 22, 2021
floridian21	4 Brew Bus You're My Boy, Blue! Tastes like a blueberry muffin. No weird aftertaste. Wife likes it. Me, not so much Friday, May 14, 2021
gelbertron	3.5 Brew Bus Hazelnut Spread Where: Tap at hopp With: J, A, M, Z, A Color: opaque brown Head: Tan, medium Aroma: Roasty malts and chocolate Taste: Roasted malts and nuttiness come through strong. Medium mouth feel with toasty aftertaste 3.5/5 Friday, March 12, 2021
solidfunk	3.6 Brew Bus Last Stop IPA Lots of pine and lime here on the aroma, and a bitter solid finish to make a well-made, easy drinking IPA with decent backbone. Pours golden with ok head. Can. Friday, December 25, 2020
cheap	2.5 Brew Bus You're My Boy, Blue! White can with blue letters from total wine and more in st pete. Slight sweet candy nose. Pour is slightly tinted pale, slightly, barely perceivable. First taste is rather creamy feel with maybe a little blueberry in there. Decently smooth. Not really as tart as I think it should be but it does have a decent finish. Not bad over all for a fruit beer. Perhaps a little better than expected. Almost past this one up. Tuesday, October 13, 2020
GatorGuy	4 Brew Bus Basic B!tch Sunday, September 27, 2020
djd07	3.7 Brew Bus Juicy Sloot #2 On tap at Hunah Day. Pours an orange gold with medium white head. The aroma is tropical fruit and dank. Slick body, juicy, grapefruit, melon, pine, bitter finish, very good. Monday, August 24, 2020
djd07	3.3 Brew Bus Green Light Gose On tap at Hunah Day. Pours a hazy gold with small white head. The aroma is wheat, salt, mineral. Light body, wheat, lemon zest, salty finish, good. Monday, August 24, 2020
cgarvieuk	4.3 Brew Bus Hazelnut Spread can at home... dark black... thin tan lacing... dark sweet nutty chocolate roast malts nose... dark nuttella chocolate.. rich malts... dark roast.. soft sweet chocolate Roast malts an extra pip for an awesome can Friday, May 1, 2020
jgb9348	3.5 Brew Bus Rising Hope Quite hazy copper and bronze coloured body with a very large, six to seven centimetre tall, super soapy tan head that leaves a horrible ugly lace on the side of the glass. Aroma of (I can't believe it - not tongue in cheek as the fruit isn't common) actual gooseberries with some kumquats and a nice floral and citrusey hop bite that smells quite bitter, in a good way. Medium-bodied; Strong rich bitter flavour from the kumquats and some of the grapefruit flavours shine through along with a dash of grain and flowers, with a bit of grass and yeastie funk towards the end. Aftertaste shows a large hop and citrusey bitterness with a herbal hop characteristic toward the end having a noticeable alcohol warmth and some softer fruits that balance out the lighter malts. Overall, a nice offering with some gooseberry flavours (not in just the text from the can) along with some citrus and good hop characteristics, all balanced well and providing a slightly old school IPA with a good citrus flavour throughout. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 19-April-2019 for US$2,37 sampled at home in Washington after watching the Washington Nationals Championship Parade on 02-November-2019. Sunday, November 3, 2019
bconch	3.1 Brew Bus Basic B!tch Black pour. Big allspice nose. Sweet taste with a much more subdued spice flavor. Creamy, smooth mouthfeel. Monday, September 2, 2019
Aurelius	2.8 Brew Bus Basic B!tch Dark, effervescent. Sweet, roasted yam, spicy aroma. Hated it cold, too much allspice bitterness, better as it warms and the vanilla and sweetness bloom. Bitterness sticks. Molasses notes. On tap, BJ'S Tallahassee. Tuesday, August 13, 2019
smith4498	3.7 Brew Bus Driving Me Hazy Draft at Half Barrel. Pours slightly cloudy straw color with white head. Aromas of grapefruit rind. Bitter grapefruit rind flavor with some other citrus. Medium body with average carbonation. Thursday, June 6, 2019
weihenweizen	3.4 Brew Bus Tangerine Splash Refrigerated 16 oz. aluminum can, canned on February 25, 2019 poured into a weizen glass. Hazy light orange with small/medium white head. Aroma is light tangerine, medium body, medium carbonation, and good small-bubble lacing. Taste is wheat esters and tangerine. Saturday, June 1, 2019
raymow	3.1 Brew Bus You're My Boy, Blue! can from my trip to Florida - nice amber color. Slight sour aroma. Sour blueberry flavor. Thursday, April 25, 2019
raymow	3.4 Brew Bus Last Stop IPA can - cloudy golden color. Nice hoppy aroma and flavor. A pretty standard IPA. Wednesday, April 17, 2019
Jabah	3.9 Brew Bus Double Decker Porter Sampled a single courtesy of neighbor. I guess Brew Bus started distribution on their porter recently. Been looking for a new local porter that I can bring home in 6-packs. This will probably be a new staple. Nice rich chocolate content, with just enough hops, but hopped up like an American porter... which seems to be the new trend. Lighter on the carbonation to resemble the English porter feel. This is pretty close to one of my favorite US porters by Anchor. Monday, April 8, 2019
Jabah	3.2 Brew Bus Rollin' Dirty They are putting this in cans now, so wanted to have my first sample in a bottle since they may be gone soon. I actually tried this a couple months ago at a beer festival, but wanted a full 12 oz. About the same as remembered. Represents more of an amber vs. "red ale" as on the label. Not hoppy at all, which kind of ruins the balance IMO. Leans towards the sweet side, but not really that malty for a "red". Seems a bit like macro beer, although the quality is half way decent....I mean, Cigar City is brewing it, right? That's another thing that's confusing is that it's a Tampa Bay Brew Bus, or Brew Bus Brewing beer, but "brewed and bottled BY Cigar City Brewing". I much prefer their Tocobaga Red over this. Friday, April 5, 2019
Jabah	3.3 Brew Bus You're My Boy, Blue! If you tasted this blind, it's quite good, but the pour and appearance could be a little scary. A dark blue, almost cloudy purple appearance...unfiltered it seems. You can smell the blueberry too, so kind of surprisingly not overwhelming when you taste it. Refreshing feel, with wheat and fruit flavors..light tropical hops. Good for spring and summer down here in FL. This could be rated a little higher and has potential. One of the, if not best blueberry brews I had at least. Thursday, April 4, 2019
Jabah	3.5 Brew Bus Are Wheat There Yet? Wheat beers are hit or miss for me, but this is one of my favorites. Similar to Cigar City's Tropical Heat Wave, which is only brewed once a year. Brew Bus is affiliated with Cigar City, and many of their beers (including this one) are brewed there. This is a lighter hoppy wheat, with some tropical and citrus notes from the hops. An unfiltered cloudy light to medium yellow appearance. Excellent spring-summer beer that is going to be one my staples. Thursday, April 4, 2019
berkshirejohn	2.7 Brew Bus Last Stop IPA [12oz can from Total Wine, Naples, Fl.] A hazy straw coloured pour with a thick cream head; weak aroma of citrus and pineapple; fuller bodied with a sour pineapple taste to start, morphing strangely in to a piney, woody, dry finish. Not the best IPA. Monday, March 4, 2019
jcwattsrugger	3.7 Brew Bus Hazelnut Spread Thursday, February 7, 2019
Kleg	4.3 Brew Bus Rollin Dirty Red Ale - Vanilla 12 oz. can. Pours a clear dark copper-red color with a giant khaki foam head and stubborn/annoying retention. Spotty lacing. Light caramel aroma. Sweet caramel malt (and vanilla?) flavor up front with a light smoke finish. Very smooth and clean. Nice balance of flavors. Very good. Very repeatable. Thursday, February 7, 2019
Bradstacey	2.7 Brew Bus Are Wheat There Yet? The hops tasted a little shitty at first, but tamed over time. Kind of bland. Thursday, January 31, 2019
BelgianBeerGal	3.6 Brew Bus Rising Hope Can most likely from Beach Liquor FWB but not sure. Pours a murky golden orange with light sediment. Tons of carbonation making pouring a trick and building a pillowy head that lasts. Big pine in the flavor and aroma. Quick, dry finish with medium bitterness. Fine. Wednesday, December 19, 2018
Kleg	2.3 Brew Bus Basic B!tch 12 oz. can. Pours an opaque dark brown color with mahogany highlights and a HUGE tan head with great retention. Minimal lacing. Strong aroma of coffee and spices. Taste follows the nose. Dominant coffee grounds flavor with some spices in the finish. Too much coffee for my liking. Medium-heavy body. Wednesday, December 19, 2018
Aurelius	4 Brew Bus Scorched Earth - White Chocolate Coconut - Barrel Aged 10w40 pour, dark tan head. Sweet, raisiny whiskey aroma. Black coffee, pruney, whiskey, just sweet enough. Coffee bitterness on the back end. Mouthy. Just the occasional note of coconut, and I didn't get the white chocolate. Burns a little. On tap, Proof, Railroad Square. Tuesday, December 4, 2018
PorterPounder	3.6 Brew Bus Basic B!tch 10/23/18 - Tallahassee, Fl - flight at Growler Country. Very dark brown fading to black with a tight mocha head. Aroma is spicy with some nutmeg and cinnamon.

snoworsummer	3.4 Brew Bus Rising Hope Draft at GB Bottle Shop. Pours hazy golden amber with a creamy off white head. Tastes like grapefruit hops, resin, some berry, cracker, and biscuit malt.

GatorGuy	3.5 Brew Bus Last Stop IPA Sunday, May 27, 2018
Ibrew2or3	3.9 Brew Bus Double IPA Poured up on tap at the brewpub where it exhibits a clear pure gold body that supports a thin off white head of foam. The modest aroma offers up grapefruit and lime. The taste delivers firm levels of bitter lemon grass, lime, grapefruit hops, a hit of pine and then bitter hop spiciness. This creates an interesting mix of hop notes with plenty of depth and a bit of perceived hop flavor juiciness too. Saturday, May 26, 2018
Aurelius	3.3 Brew Bus / Proof Party Bus Clear, golden. Mild APA aroma. Fruity, moderately sweet, some vinyl, warming. Slippery mouthfeel, pithy citrus aftertaste. On tap, Proof Production Facility. Needs work. Friday, May 25, 2018
