Red Truck Amber Ale - 30 Litre Keg

Built on a philosophy of honesty and classic styling, this beer is inspired by the vintage trucks that symbolize the brewery’s brand—reliable, timeless, and built to last. It is designed as a quintessential Northwest Amber Ale, striking a deliberate balance between a rich, toasty malt profile and a crisp, refreshing hop finish.

Beer Description

This Amber Ale pours a clear, deep copper-to-amber hue with a persistent, off-white frothy head and fine carbonation.

Aroma: It features an inviting nose of toasted malts and sweet caramel. These scents are balanced by a subtle, classic hop profile that brings notes of earthy pine and a touch of floral citrus.

Palate: The flavor is medium-bodied and well-rounded. It leads with a distinct biscuit-like maltiness and a hint of toffee, which is smoothly balanced by a clean hop bitterness. The mouthfeel is smooth, leading to a crisp, dry finish that avoids being cloying.

Profile: It has an ABV of 5.2% and a moderate bitterness of 25 IBU, making it a highly versatile and food-friendly beer that appeals to a wide range of palates.

Technical Notes: Brewed using a blend of premium specialty malts (including Crystal and Munich) to achieve its signature color and caramel depth. It is hopped with traditional Pacific Northwest varieties to provide a structured bitterness that cuts through the malt sweetness.
