Up from the pond waddles the next beer to the crease, another amber ale and this time from 'Red Duck' who are based in Victoria. This a richer amber ale than Endeavour's, with some strong toffee/caramel flavours supporting a malt driven base. I enjoy this style of amber ale as it gives a good contrast to the often fruity/citrus hop based pale ale.
The aftertaste is softer and not as bitter as the Endeavour also. It has less endurance, but it performs better for the duration. Quality over quantity. Sometimes a good quickie is all you need.
A solid inside, after dinner beer. Another Victorian microbrewery with some good product. I grabbed this from a small
shop/stand at the market, the next time I'm there I might fly south again for the winter.
7.75/10
