DuClaw Brewing Co.

Served on tap at Arundel Mills, this is a glowing orange-yellow beer, no head when served, but some scattered lacing left behind. The nose is very nice floral and grapefruit hops, delicate, yet tempting. Taste delivers more of the great hop flavor, grapefruit and pine, very flavorful over a slight caramel malt, slightly bitter finish, very nice. Light bodied with medium carbonation, this is a nice easy drinking session beer. This is a wonderful beer from DuClaw, like a toned down version of the Venom with less bitterness and malts, and more hop juice flavor. I hope Duclaw keeps this one around, as I told it was not a seasonal.

A new seasonal on tap during the Euphoria launch party. This offering was a very drinkable, mild version of the style; rich yellow color with nice foamy head that lasted through the first few sips. Just enough hops in the nose to refresh and tickle the throat, but far less than some. Mouthful was light with an almost perfect carbonation. That made it very easy to drink and I liked it so much I brought home a growler. I hope they bring it back on a regular basis.
