Duck-Rabbit Brown Ale

Duck-Rabbit Brown Ale

Traditionally, I'm not a huge fan of brown ales, but this one is OK. The Duck-Rabbit Craft Brewery's Brown Ale is nice and smooth with a decent hop punch and a smooth malty flavor right behind it. 

From the website:

The Duck-Rabbit Brown Ale is an American brown ale brewed with loads of hops from start to finish (it’s hoppy and beautifully bitter). Amarillo hops in the boil provide a spicy citrusy bitterness. Saaz dry hops in the fermentor provide a refined flowery aroma. These hops are supported by a grain bill of seven varieties of malt. Oh yeah!

The 'loads of hops' don't really punch me so hard in this beer, but the hoppy aroma from the dry-hopping is definitely present. 

This is my last sampling from an assorted six-pack from the World Market.  I'm out of un-tried beers!  I'm gonna have to make a run back down there sometime soon or try to find some local sources for singles.  My only great local source for singles is rather expensive.  I think their singles start at $3.99 each and run up to about $12.00 or so depending on what you get.  Most of those singles are 16-24 ounces and there are some really great selections to choose from, but I can't let beer sampling break the bank...
