DuClaw Funk

Brewed by DuClaw Brewing Company
Style: Wheat Ale
Abingdon, Maryland USA

Serve in Shaker, Weizen

Tap at Arundel Mills in Mar 2008: Clear bright golden pour has a thin, wispy white head. Faint aroma of malted wheat and grain, but almost nonexistant. Body starts with a finely dissolved carbonation and mild sweetness with a touch of light fruity notes and citrusy hops. Finishes semi-dry and mildly bitter with some earthy citrus notes. Needs more balance.

pretty standard wheat beer. pours hazy yellow with a foamy white head. banana, clove, honey, orange. meh. doesn’t do much for me. get the sawtooth instead.

Draft @ Bel Air location. I’m not a big fan of wheat beers, but this was not bad. A slight citrus hop note cut through an otherwise common wheat beer combination of banana and cloves. Very drinkable light palate.

Brought home a growler from the Belair location. This is a nice beer - reminds me of some of the Canadian ales from Labatts, or even maybe a Kolsch. Obviuosly part of the DuClaws line-up for those who don’t "like" beer. A wheat ale? OK, you fooled me, but still a nice refreshing quaffer. I always wanted to use that word.

Duclaw’s Funk Is okay but is nothing that really stands out. I was a little disappointed when I tried it.

Draft, poured a light golden color with a white frothy head. pretty light and almost resembled a lager more than and a wheat beer. I’d hoped for more. This was probably the weakest of all the DuClaw beers I tried.

on tap-pours a dissipating white head and yellow color. Aroma is sweet grain. Taste is sweet grain/wheat/light malt, spicy hops, crisp. OK carbonation. Solid light body.

On Draft at Fell’s Point. Poured a somewhat clear gold color with a white head. Taste is standard wheat beer with some cloves and some citrus in it. I like the name, but this one wasn’t "Funk". I expected more.
