Duke Lager is clear, pale amber in color. The head is big, white, and shows decent retention.
At first blush, Duke Lager is malt forward smelling of toasted white bread and soda crackers. There also seems to be an element that could be described as grainy. Graininess doesn't seem to be a detriment here, adding to the overall impression of maltiness. Malt character gives way to a center which offers me a generic sort of sweetness. The finish offers a gentle hint of hops in the form of fresh cut grass.
My first impression of Duke Lager is that it's a somewhat generic, inoffensive sort of a thing. Which is to say it definitely tastes like a lager. The flavor isn't as malt forward as the aroma was. It starts off with flavors of biscuit malts and freshly rising dough. The latter gives the beer a sort of sugary sweetness and roundness in the middle before leading into a crisp, dry finish. That finish also contains just a faint whisp of peppery, European hops before fading off into the distance.
It's a decent lager that will refresh your thirst and quench your palette. And what's more, since there are no off flavors or hints of adjunct the craft beer lover in you shouldn't feel guilty afterwards.
