Earlier
this week I enjoyed a Duck-Rabbit Milk Stout and posted a write-up on it this
past Monday. Since then I have tried their
Amber Ale. Unfortunately the Amber Ale
is the last Duck-Rabbit beer that I have, and will likely be the last of their beers
that I can review until they start distributing to Wisconsin.
On to
the review, at Beeradvocate, Duck-Rabbit Amber ale has a score of 78. Over at ratebeer it has a score of 48 overall
and 65 for style. Pretty low ratings at
ratebeer, but from what I have seen, the ratings there trend low.
They Say:
The Duck-Rabbit Amber Ale
is a medium bodied beer with a lovely tawny copper or bronze color. This brew
emphasizes malt complexity with layered caramel malt flavors. We put a lot of
effort into getting this amber ale just right and we're extremely proud of the
result!
I Say:
Duck-Rabbit
Amber Ale pours brilliantly clear reddish amber with a moderate tan head that
holds excellent retention and leaves considerable lacing in the glass. The aroma is of light caramel malts with slight
citrus hop notes.
Amber
Ale is pleasant malty, with a moderate level or caramel sweetness that is well
balanced by citrusy hop flavor and a moderate level of hop bitterness. It is medium bodied with a moderate to high
level of carbonation.
Duck-Rabbit
Amber Ale is a good and very drinkable beer that I recommend if you enjoy the
style. Many amber ales overshoot either
the sweetness or the hop bitterness and are less drinkable as a result,
Duck-Rabbit strikes the balance well. Unfortunately
the distribution area for Duck-Rabbit is still fairly limited; hopefully they
will expand distribution soon.
That’s all
for now, check back soon for another post.
Happy
Drinking!!
