Dgm notwithstanding, DUENDE is the logical extension of the already fantastic Automatic, which is legitimately one of my favorite pale ales ever. This provides less of the creamy mouthfeel as the Monkish/Treehouse sect but feels more nimble as a result. It’s more resinous and evergreen but doesn’t tread too far into the mid 2000s offputting pine. Orange pith and zested tangelo round out the THC vape oils and it’s a novel entry in this expanding canon of chowderwales and this one feels more focused and elegant than most. I rate this 3.5 out of 5 confused pit bulls waiting in line in an industrial park
