They just tapped this beer for the first time. This was my first visit to their brewery. Impressed with the taste of all of their beers. I wish these guys luck. Pours reddish with a big creamy head. Tangy, slightly citrus smell. Taste is a nice balance between citrus hops and sweet malts. Alcohol well hidden. Can't wait to try their barrel aged stuff!

This beer is something special... from the first pour you realize this is not your typical red ale... yeah the color is red but before it even touches your lips your hit with a piney hop aroma as well as a malty backbone full of crystal malts and fruity estery goodness. On the first sip it follows the nose but with abundant citrus hops and those crystal malts lend a sweetness in the after taste. The mouthfeel is of medium density and is very easy drinking and as far as the 9%abv you just can't tell it's there until it's too late : ) no fusel alcohol no hot aftertaste and in a single descriptor amazing !!! It takes a lot of skill to stay in a guidline and then to bend it just enough to let the world know this is unique. Very hard to get outside of the Hudson valley of NY or upper NJ but if you can find this get it period you will not be disappointed.

A beautiful two fingers of dark beige head top this dark amber beauty. Luscious looking legs of slathery lace cling lovingly to my pint glass. Skill is what it takes to get a beer this clear without resorting to filtering.

The aroma is inviting, full of caramel and thick hop herbal and citrus, hints of rye and pine in there as well. Not super strong, but super alluring.

Ah, what flavor! What the bouquet promises the taste delivers. Not so much rye in this, but a wonderful balance of the others, and an end of sip that is just sweet enough, just hoppy citrus and light bitter enough. Not super complex, but delivers! Man this is tasty.

Easy drinking beyond belief, it drinks like a pale, refreshing, full of resiny goodness and malt sweet delivered clean as a whistle with a finish that leaves the mouth craving more. (% ABV, you gotta be fucking kidding me.

Hard to get Rushing Duck out of this area, but if you see this one jump on it, my friends. Highly recommended, sure to please.
