With a signature Belgian Trappist yeast strain, you’ll experience the fruity esters and phenols that give off flavors of banana and clove. Alongside Centennial hops for a West Coast influence, that contribute aromas of pine and citrus flavors – considered the hallmark of an American hop profile in Pale Ales and IPAs alike.

Pours a dark reddish amber with a creme colored head. Aroma of somewhat sweet malt, some mild fruitiness. Taste has banana, nutmeg, cinnamon, sweet rich malt with pine hop oils. Palate has a lingering hop oil on the tongue, much like an IPA. Really crafty take on the style. Excellent.

On tap at brewery. Hazy light brown pour. Brief beige head. Sweet fruity malt aroma hints at Belgian yeast and banana. Typical River Horse flavor nuances found in many of their brews. Further notes of clove and caramel. Not much happening from a hop standpoint. Slightly bitter in middle. Sticky mouthfeel. Bittersweet malty finish. This is a paradox of a brew. Uncharacteristically dark for the style. Flavor profile is way off, too. Honestly, this tastes like a lower alcohol version of their Belgian Freeze. Perhaps the name Dual Citizen is apropos since the brew is not what it seems.
