The Duck-Rabbit Amber Ale

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

Pours amber colored with a disappearing orange/tan head. The aroma is lightly fruity, caramel, toffee, and nuts. The flavor is fruity with berries, caramel, nuts, and a mild hoppy/nutty finish. An OK amber, kind of watery, but with a nice finish.

Pours a dark copper/amber color with golden orange hues when held to a light source and a thick frothy two finger head that immediately fades into a lasting ring, leaving sporadic splotches of off white soapy lacing. Caramel malt aroma which is pretty sweet smelling with hints of hazelnut, biscuit, cinnamon spice and subtle hops. Slightly flat earthy mouthfeel with very earthy hop forward presence. Caramel malt back bone with subtle brown sugar/cinnamon spice and a dry hop finish. Kind of a bland session beer with a earthy(literally dirt) flavor that’s kind of off putting. I’d like to try this one again, possibly on tap or another bottle.

12oz bottle. Pours cloudy amber in color with foamy tan head. Aroma malty, caramal and floral hops. Taste roasted malt and caramal with bitter finish.

Amber red color with spotty bubbly white head that seems to list from side to side on top of the beer. A good deep whiff returns smells like cherries, sweet syrup, fruits, but they are subtle. A very good flavor for an amber/red but not quite up there with Nugget Nectar (my favorite). I would drink this on a regular basis if it were possible. I think Duck-Rabbit does a really good job on all their beers. Yum. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 07-11-2007 15:24:45

Slightly hazy orange/amber color, thin white head. Aroma is caramel, honey, and biscuit. Taste is cardboard, burnt biscuit and caramel. Sticky finish.

Pours a clear coppr with a tan head. Aroma of caramel mostly. Similar taste, slightly sweet and malty. Kind of an unsavory aftertaste. Soso.

Small bottle split with scottyp. Pours a clear red with minimal ring of near white head. Nose of faint caramel, with some cardboard. Flavor is about the same with a little toasted buttery note. Decent amber, about average for a brew.

12 oz bottle pours an amber brown with a tan head that fades. Nose is not as malty as most ambers are but mostly red fruit and citrus. Similar flavors that tend towards the cherry and fruit more than the citrus with a slight infected sourness. Some lightly bitter citrus hops in the finish. Ok, but the sourness in the aroma and flavor was odd and unwelcomed for the style. At least it wasn’t as infected as their porter I had yesterday.
