22 ounce bottle poured to wine glass
Amber, hazy, medium light tan foam
malty aroma, not a lot of hoppy aroma specially for an india pale ale
very bitter, unbalance, bitterness comes out
long follow through and long bitter aftertaste
Overall: very good, ok too repeat, but not to look for

Bought 22oz bottle from Tamuras $4.29
Cloudy amber color
Smell of citrus, hops
Medium mouthfeel
Medium carbonation
Bitterness, but not overwhelming so fairly easy drinking.
Overall a nice IPA that I would drink again.

22oz best by 01/24/17. Beer pours into my craft pint glass brassy red in color. Imperial Red Ale, perhaps? Apparently "down n dirty IPA" does not mean CDA. Big tan foam on top, too. Very pretty. Aroma reminds me immediately of Inversion, an IPA I have become very familiar with. But this one weighs in at "merely" 6.3%, half a click less than the other. Aside from color, what will set this beer apart from Fresh Squeeze and Pinedrops?

Well, it's piny, and seriously bitter. More bitter (higher apparent alpha) than Inversion, and more highly attenuated. This beer tastes like Inversion looks and Inversion tastes like this beer looks. There's also Cinder Cone, which actually is a red ale, and has nothing to do with this at all.

I think the "Down 'N Dirty" of this beer, color aside, is it's simplicity. It's not a rich bouquet of complex hop aromas. It doesn't offer a precocious balance of bitter and sweet. It's just a simple, straight ahead hop bomb in single [American] IPA proportions. Approachable for IPA drinkers who want nothing gussying up their IPAs. I wonder if they market it at a lower price point? Great mouthfeel, too. Label says it's bottle conditioned.

Copper colored with an inch of frothy beige on top. Moderate lacing. I smell citrus hops and light malt. The taste is definitely a citrus hop forward IPA that has plenty of light malt to keep things in balance. The mouth is lightly sticky, fairly dry, and lightly chalky.
