The Duck-Rabbit Amber Ale

Brewed by The Duck-Rabbit Craft Brewery
Style: Amber Ale
Farmville, North Carolina USA

Poured from bottle. Nice, sweet malt aroma. Dark amber with very rugged tan head. Odd, kinda herbal aspect to the flavor along with the malt. Also a burnt wood character in there. Watery feel to it as well. Subtle malt aftertaste to it. Finished better than it started. A strange, but good choice.

Picked up a single 12-oz bottle via trade with Frumpy. This is the lightest of the dark Duck-Rabbit beers. Pours a clear caramel amber brew with a thick off-white head that dissolves to a ring with good lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, sweet apple/pear combo fruit with some flowery hops. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonation with flavors of sweet pears, caramel malt with a dry bitter finish. After taste is pleseant with a dry nutty malt flavor.

Bottle Dark amber copper pour with good sized big bubbled head. A bit of apple and hop in the aroma. Same with flavor with a higher concentration of apple and some nut. Decent session, but it’s still lacking.

I thought this was really good. It was super-cold when I opened it, which I think worked to it’s advantage, because the fruity nose didn’t come out until it warmed. Pretty nice.

(bottle, thanks Skyview) Pours a nice amber color with an off-white head. Fruit filled nose with apple and pear mainly. Mainly malty flavor, slight caramel as well.

[Bottle, thanks Skyview] Pours amber with a whitish-tan head. The aroma was mainly apple and pear, maybe a little caramel too. The flavor was nutty and malty. Medium body. Nothing spectacular here.

Thanks to Skyview for sharing. Brownish amber color. Sweet apple and pear in the nose. Grainy body with no hint of the fruits in the nose. Flavor is more nutty than anything else.

Pours a clear amber color with a medium beige head. Aroma of malt and nuts. Taste is malty as well with hints of nuts and a metallic finish. Average at best.
