Bracing tartness and straightforward berry character. Not exciting. Just a fruited kettle sour.

Clearish copper body and a bit of foam, dry grains that is nearing 19th century bookshelf. Flavour is nice chewy malt, good hop character. a little empty on the mouthfeel but otherwise straightforward and workable.

Cloudy, thin head, light fruits, wheaty, good body. Clean. Refreshing. You wouldn't call it compelling but for what it is, you can drink it.

Hazy light amber, light lemon and raspberry nose. Clean, balanced. Good for what it is.

Dark brown. Has a nice dark choc nose, little molasses. Very fizzy, but another pour is flatter and the dark toffee and toast malts come across better.

Draught at the brewery. Medium brown, light toasty malts, decent, sweet, light caramel character.

Medium amber no head. Sticky sweet, some phenols. Mostly phenolic and sticky sweet but lacking nuance. Underhopped, too.

As connotations your name can convey onto your beer, "Dirt Road" is better only than "Night at the Movies" and "Reverse Peristalsis". And sure enough, this unfortunately lives down to its name. Ugly amber-brown. No head. Really, not much aroma. Soft body, sweet, the malts aren’t great, and not enough hop. All told, it's a very old-fashioned chewy DIPA that misses on all fronts. If it sells, rock on, but otherwise better to start over with something clean, bright and modern.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a murky dark red with a small beige head. Aroma smells like cough syrup, with resinous hops and cloying candied sugar. Flavour is fairly dry, with bready malt, subdued resinous hops, and some candied sugars. Not sure what they were trying to do here - this doesn't seem like a IIPA in any way. Meh.
