The Duck-Rabbit Amber Ale is a medium bodied beer with a lovely tawny copper/bronze color. The lightest of all our dark ales, this is a great introduction to full flavored beers. This brew emphasizes malt complexity with layered caramel malt flavors. We put a lot of effort into getting The Duck-Rabbit Amber Ale just right and we’re extremely proud of the result. Enjoy!

Bottle. Clear in the glass, amber in color and with a dense, beige head of moderate size. Roasted, toffee-ish with a fruity touch. Smooth on the palate, medium bodied. Toffee, hints of coffee and fruityness in the flavor. Lasting toffee finish with some roasted notes. A decent one, rather boring but sure drinkable. 110614

They’re the dark beer brewery for a reason. This amber ale starts well, dry and malty, but a mildewed-grain flavor pops up, and things go downhill. The finish carries along this unpleasant taste, pretty much killing the beer. Looks good, feels good, but them’s the pleasantries. (9/08)

Bottle from a trade with emacgee. Pours slightly hazy amber color with off white head. Nutty and malty aroma. Toasted malt flavor with some mild bitterness and a little nutty. Light to medium body with average carbonation. Thanks Ethan.

Bottle from Bruisin Ales. Pours ruddy amber with a foamy 3 finger beige head. Aroma of lightly roasted caramel. Not hoppy. It is lightly roasty, and there is a touch of bitter - very light touch. Drinks quite clean though, and it’s not excessively malty. Amber heads ought to like it?

12oz bottle. Foggy unfiltered amber-brown color. Nice and steady rusty beige head. Best by January..drank in June. Bottle has soured a little bit, but I personally find this an enjoyable amber still. Medium bodied, with very nice balance. Smooth caramel malt, some sour tones, and a soapy upfront hop crispness. A quality offering, I’d like to try it fresh.

Rich, ruby tinted amber coloured body with a dense, tan head. Aroma of mild nuts, some alcohol and a bunch of malt - a touch of caramel sweetness too. Medium-bodied; Assertive roasty flavours with nuts noticeable and not much else - fairly one-dimensional. Aftertaste has some caramel and nuts, not much else - perhaps some malt. Overall,a decent beer, especially for the style. Not much going on, and not really worth drinking, unless for some reason you like Ambers! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in McLean, Virginia on 15-April-2010, sampled at home in Washington on 27-April-2010.
