We collabed with Caius Farm Brewery on this New English IPA. Inspired by the classic British IPAs overseas, Odd Duck features 100% local malt and Teamaker & Chaos hops from Four Star Farms, in MA. Lightly bitter and endlessly drinkable, with notes of orange marmalade and spicy Bergamot tea.

Eli's draught, 6/27/26.
Nose is reserved, subtle, earthy. Things you'd expect from an "English" IPA. Also it's nitro so that impedes aroma, as well. But it's clean, primarily malty, with twiggy, slightly herbal hop notes behind it. More of a cellar mustiness than a bright or vivacious fruitiness.
Malty but not too sweet with a strong nuttiness and lots of the earthy and lightly herbal hop notes to gently balance. Soft and lightly watery from the nitro, with an interesting yeastiness showing the aforementioned musty cellar quality, for lack of a better descriptor. Super unique. Almost reminds me of something like Tetleys, but not nearly so thin and watery, nor filtered/pasteurized.
