Brewed
in appreciation of Toronto’s gourmet mobile sustenance vendors, Food
Truck is a blonde ale that, according to the copy on the 473mL can, is
intended to pair nicely with chow. A product of the excellent Henderson
Brewing Company, Food Truck is a low alcohol offering, at just 4.8%.
It’s a a clear brass-gold ale that pours with an enticing off-white
foam.
FT has a grassy, lager-like nose that features
grainy notes and a touch of sweetness. The beer has a pretty nondescript
taste that moves from slightly sweet to slightly bitter, with a grainy
initial vibe and a finish that is sweet, yet fairly crisp.
This
grog is very much a blank canvass that absorbs the colours and flavours
of the accoutrements it comes with. As a result, it is wildly
inoffensive, but has little character of its own. Not boring, exactly,
but FT isn’t a particularly remarkable brew. Rather, it’s the background
scenery in a local theatre production. A touch too sweet, but otherwise
innocuous, FT isn’t much like Henderson’s other, more rambunctious
offerings. It’s a fairly well-balanced but forgettable ale, waiting on
external flavours to enhance its vitality. I liked it fine, but won’t
remember it tomorrow.
Rating: 6.5 out of 10 (no photo because I'm not smart).
