Fizzy head, smal amount of lingering. Pours a rich red gold color, with amber tinges. Syrupy sweet aroma, crystal malt is truly evident, with some hop spiciness. Light body, with a smooth mouthfeel. Crystal malt flavor, with some residual roastiness that sticks around in the finish. Subdued hops, rendering more spiciness rather than bitter or fruit flavors. Even as the beer warms up, the hops never make a definitive splash on the palate. Doesn’t coat the mouth in the manner that the syrupy, malty character in the aroma and flavor would suggest. Fairly elegant as a balance of simplicity, but its drinkability was marred by an ephemeral mustiness than I normally equate with a lack of freshness. I had to travel a long ways to get to my town though, so I guess as much is to be expected.

Botlle. Great label and pint size bottle, but after that it was an average brew. Apprearance, aroma and flavor were pleasing and very drinkable. Price in pub was above average.

This is a nice drinking beer. Smooth without being complex. Just what you may want when you just want a beer and who can’t like the name.

Hop and dust nose, amber color, sticky head. Caramelly malt with a drying bitter. Watery and thin body, but overall a decent balance. Enjoyable.

Bottled. Fruity aroma with nice hops. Light copper color, small off-white head, good lace. Sweet, fruity, hoppy, little soapy, smooth. Very drinkable and nice ale although just 4.1 ABV. I also had a bottled which said 5.2% ABV but no recognisable difference in the flavor.

Just you basic beer with bitterness and hits of fruit and sugar. A good alternative to you premium lagers r.e. bud, miller, etc. You could drink a crap load of these.

A nice uncomplicated beer, straight forward beer. Nothing fancy here, just a nice smooth tasting beer. Aroma is a little thin, head disappears after a few minutes, etc. But the pleasant flavor keeps coming. I liked it. You gotta have fun with the name, too. I’m happiest with a Dirty Dick.
