Review: Founder’s Dirty Bastard Scottish Ale

Founder’s make good stuff. I’ve enjoyed everything by them. All made with a bit of finesse. Dirty Bastard is no exception.

This ale pours copper red, has a quickly dissipating head, and is sweet on the nose. The flavors are deep caramelized malt and a reasonable hop bitterness punch at the end. Drinks easy, and works efficiently. Effervesces just enough to dance around the malt. Not too heavy, not too light. And a price tag that matches this balance.

A superior ale. This is and has for some time been my go-to everyday drinking beer. Always satisfying. Always just right. Cellars well too. I always keep some on hand.
