2.95/5 rDev -13.2%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 2

12oz. bottle poured a dark reddish color with a small slightly off white head that leaves a few specks of lace around the glass.

Smell - slight floral hop aroma and a hint of caramel malt.
Taste - lots of bland club soda like flavor up front with a very mild hop presence and a bit of dryness towards the end.
Feel - over carbonated, a bit dry and sticky in the aftertaste.
Drinkability - I can finish this one but I just don't understand what Duck-Rabbit was thinking when you compare this to the other quality brews they offer. I may give this a second chance some time and hope this bottle was not what they intended their beer to taste like.

Poured from a twelve ounce bottle into a pint glass. Medium amber color with minimum white head. Smell falls somewhat flat malty but not much else. Flavor is good with the malt coming through again with a slight caramel sweetness and a slightly bready mouthfeel. Carbonation is on point, but if i'm talking about carbonation that most likely says it all. Decent beer but not great, above average but not by much.

Served on tap in a pint glass

Appearance – Pours a copper amber color with a one finger off white head. The head fades relatively quickly to leave a nice lace on the sides of the glass.

Smell – The aroma is of a roasted malt flavor with some aromas of caramel and a lightly roasted nut smell. Mixed with these smells are some lighter notes of an earthy and herbal hop smell.

Taste – The taste begins with a bready and lightly roasted malt flavor. Some caramel flavor is present upfront which transitions more toward a toffee flavor more toward the middle as some lighter buttery flavors come to the tongue. With this transition comes some nut flavors of an almond nature. A very light earthy hop flavor joins that tastes at the end to leave a smooth and lightly roasted sweet and caramel flavor on the tongue.

Mouthfeel – The body of the beer is on the rather average to slightly thinner side in terms of its creaminess with a carbonation level that a bit on the higher side. The thinner body and higher carbonation are good for the abv and for making for a rather easy drinking brew while still being heavy enough for the roasted and lightly earthy hoped flavors of the brew.

Overall- A decent drinking brew with a fairly nice flavor profile and a easy drinking feel. Nothing exceptional, but a pretty nice drinker overall.
