Youngs Dirty Dicks Ale

Formerly brewed at Youngs
Style: Bitter

light and more appealing to the masses. roasty, caramel, floral, perfume, and nothing much else... as it warms what flavor is there just layers itself on an average or what wants to be a good palate and it becomes a bit syrupy and cloying, a bit spikey. it’s not that bad, really. a lot more malt than i expected, and actually more than i expected, but when there’s a lot and there’s a lot to savor, there’s nothing impressing.

Lighter style ale. Quite dark in the glass, caramel like. Middle of the road nose, nothing special, so ok malt traits. Very broad mouthfeel, quite nice. More malts than hops, finishing quite softly, but hits every corner of the mouth. IMHO suffers a little from lack of alcohol weight at 4.1%, leaving the beer to lack a bit punch."

A nice, subtle hint of roasted malt makes this a very approachable beer. A treat for a nice, cold evening. Thanks for being so dirty, Dick.

Auburn in color with a orange tint. Had a white head with no retention. Aroma was sweet and malty. The flavor reminded me a lot of Grolsch, but more malty. Rather thin body, and definately not worth the $3 I paid for it.

I didnt write to many notes on this stuff but i had it recently and heres what i got to go on. Appearance is like a ice lemon tea. Decent sized head and a weak aroma. Flavor was bland and not much else besides of being bitter. I felt i didnt get my moneys worth

500 ml bottle. Best before date: 10/05. Pours a deep copper with thick bubbly off-white head. Aroma is of hops, sugars and a little of citrus fruit. Fairly disappointing taste-wise. On the thin side. Starts off crisp and malty. Only slightly bitter finish with no real hop flavor. Definitely watery. Not much to it.

[16.9 oz. bottle] Lighter golden brown color with not much of a head. Very faint aroma mostly consisting of sweet malts and a hint of caramel. The flavor begins with malt and sweetness but goes to a semi-crisp malt flavor and a slightly metallic finish.

This one pours a deep reddish copper brown with a small white fizzy head that quickly disappears to leave nothing, not even lacing. The aroma is mild, mainly of sweet malt (toffee and caramel?) with slight notes of roasted nuts. Initial taste is mainly of bitter hops. Mouth feel is dry, astringent and a bit thin. Flavor matures to a nice bitter aftertaste that lasts.
