Looks like this is the people from Ross Island now doing a different thing with Dirty Pretty. Pours a amber color with a medium white head. A nice soft fruity and caramel nose. Soft, perfume, some toast, caramel, light citrus. Clean. Solid.

These guy's need to slightly improve their brewing process. It's new so i cut em some slack. But the beers all have the same thin body off flavours ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Just a bit thin on the body for a 7.2abv beer. It's all around okay, but not great for the style. Portland ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Quite astringent, not the best portland has to offer. I hope their next beers are better. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draft - Light vegetal notes. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Spicy rye and a nice bitterness. If the nose was fixed this would be decent.
