the commercial description says it all, it has a mellow flavor. mildly bitter and the typical english ale flavor. i don’t know if this has been oxidized, but there is a wine like flavor in the finish. not a big fan.

Murky brown with soda like head. Flavor is light at the beginning, slightly spicy and fruity, transforming into solid roastiness at the finish. Decent.

The head on this ale is the most interesting thing about it. The dense, drizzling foam has a filmy skin on the top reminiscent of boiling potatoes. The color is of clover honey, or a watered-down Coke...I can’t decide which. The pleasant apple cider nose is unfortunately disappointed by a bland taste that is much too similar to Pabst. A final hint of pleasant hops cannot compensate for the hideous base flavor of cheap beer. To it’s credit, Dirty Dick’s improves with warmth and oxygenation. The cider flavors continue to emerge over time as the Pabst crawls away. Overall, something I wouldn’t want to drink again.

500ml bottle. Golden red body with a thin head. A little hint of chocolate in aroma, otherwise rather discreet fume. Flavor is well balanced, but quite ordinary. Not much bitterness either makes this to anonymous. Rather watery mouth feel. Not totally bad, but not a great ale.

Bottle: Good malted medium sweet caramel. Hazy caramel body with dirty white head. Good caramel and nuty flavors. Medium to full bodyied beer the bitter you could tell was trying to break though the malt for a little kick. Leaves a good sweet nutty/malt aftertaste on the palate which was good. Good brew too bad couldn’t of had a full bottle but thanks to Turbo for sharing.

Caramel color with a light head. Flavor is caramel, nuts, with a smooth roasty chocolate taste on the palate. Creamy sweet finish.
