16 oz can from Wine Chateau. Hazy orange. Pine and dough, some bread, good bit of spice as well. A little dry, a little grassy. Lots of earth. Drinks a little dirty, so I guess the name is appropriate...

Decent enough pale ale, not as juicy-fruity as claimed.

Pours a clear golden-yellow, with quickly dissipating head. Aroma of grass, bread, and some citrus. Flavor is very grassy, with some breadiness, and a bitter finish of pine/spruce hops.

1 Pint can from Nikki’s Liquors, Providence, 3.49 $. Juicy yellow in the glass, one finger white head. Smell is grapefruity, some herbs. Taste starts with some orange juice, followed by a floral hop bitterness, some peper elements. Malt in the background. Okay.
