Dirty Beaches by Scofflaw Brewing Co. was reviewed according to the 2021 BJCP Style Guidelines, Style 21A, American IPA.

The initial pour delivers a profusion of tropical fruity notes to the nostrils. Papayas, mangos and pineapple dominate and are accompanied by a firm citrus note.

Quite hazy with a pale yellow hue and prominent white head that persisted.

The fruity aromas that dominated the aroma profile are also the main contributor to the flavor profile and are enhanced by a lack of malt character. Citrus fruit and malted wheat take a secondary position to aforementioned fruitiness and lead to a medium bitter finish.

A bit thin in body with a light carbonation tingle on the tongue. Alcohol warmth evident but not offensive.

An American IPA that in many respects crossed styles with the New England IPA. Lots of fruit and a nice smack of citrus character.
