Beer-a-Day #221

My wife and I met with a friend today (Kids Eat Free Sunday!) at Barley and Hops. Chris (our friend) had the beer sampler. Sara informed us that they were out of their seasonal offering but, instead, filled out the sampler with something they’re calling a “Dirty Dirty”. Apparently some regulars there have taken to blending the Dirty Blonde Lager with the Big Ben Nut Brown. It sounded interesting, so I ordered a pint for myself.

It’s copper in color. There’s a little toastiness in the aroma. The taste is malty with a nice bit of bitterness in the finish. Neither beer there is my favorite of their offerings, but together they’re pretty darn good. I could go for another one of those (and, in fact, I did).
