Extra-Strong Bitter 4.8 º

Red Duck

Red Duck Easy Tiger is a nuanced Strong Bitter that leans into the traditional English pub ale aesthetic with a focus on malt complexity. Utilizing a foundation of traditional ale malt and specialty roast malts, it presents a rich sensory profile dominated by decadent notes of butterscotch, toffee, and caramel. While the brewer emphasizes a softer bitterness, the inclusion of East Kent Goldings provides a gentle earthy and floral hop counterpoint. This amber ale prioritizes a generous, rewarding malt sweetness over aggressive hopping, resulting in a balanced, sessionable experience that pays homage to the classic ESBs of London and Suffolk.

Appearance. Deep amber to copper in color (12-16 SRM) with brilliant clarity. It pours with a moderate, creamy off-white head that shows good retention and leaves light lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderate to high malt intensity featuring distinct layers of toffee, butterscotch, and sweet caramel. A low earthy and floral hop character from the East Kent Goldings is present, accompanied by light fruity esters reminiscent of dried orchard fruits.

Taste. A rich initial impression of sweet malt, specifically driven by caramel and toffee notes. Low to moderate hop bitterness provides a soft balance against the specialty roast malt depth. Hop flavors are earthy and herbal. The beer finishes medium-dry with a lingering butterscotch sweetness and a clean fermentation profile.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate, providing a gentle prickle on the tongue. There is very low alcohol warmth, making it highly drinkable.
