Beer pick of the week: Duck-Rabbit Brown Ale
Duck-Rabbit Brown Ale
The Duck-Rabbit Craft Brewery
Farmville, N.C.
5.6% ABV
Paul Philippon’s line of dark beers brewed in the little eastern North Carolina town of Farmville is now available in Georgia. The brown ale is a nicely balanced version of the style that exhibits the nutty-sweet malt flavor of the traditional style, while ramping up the spicy, citrus hop bitterness as befits the American interpretation of classic British ales. Chestnut brown with great clarity and a persistent head, this is a clean, easy drinking brew. Toasted grains, walnuts, allspice, and a slightly smoky finish combine for a satisfying taste that pairs great with a burger or other grilled meats.
