Light, fruity and made for a cosy evening. Grapefruit and pine from Citra, a sweet malt base with a hint of honey, at a very easy-going 3.4%.
Duration's own description is perfect - this is a beer for settling in for a night of board games. Low enough to drink all evening, characterful enough to actually enjoy. Citra and Citra Cryo keep it bright and zesty, while the malt base adds a gentle sweetness that stops it feeling thin.
Crisp, fruity and sessionable. From Duration's farmhouse brewery in Norfolk.
Water, barley malt, wheat, oats, hops, yeast.
What is Citra Cryo?
Cryo hops are a concentrated form of regular hops - the same variety but with the lupulin (the resinous part that carries aroma and flavour) extracted and concentrated. It gives more intense hop character without adding extra vegetal matter to the beer.
Is it worth it at 3.4%?
Yes - the Citra keeps it genuinely flavourful. This isn't a watered-down pale, it's designed to be sessionable without losing the hop character.
How does it compare to Duration's Truck?
Truck is a 6% NEIPA - rich, juicy and full-bodied. Board Games is its lighter, crispier counterpart. Same farmhouse, very different mood.
