Could be "tape" I suppose, but it isn't.
Here's an easy little one that should appeal to a certain person here.
Speculation about pub beer (8).

I had a feeling this wouldn't take off (the thread, not the duck). One more, though.

It will take off, eventually but there are a limited number of people generally who can manage cryptic clues like this and then even fewer who are members here, so it will probably need a little time and maybe a clue a week with some hints as the time goes on. I know for sure I have had no idea on any of these or even where to start with them. I can feature the thread if you wanted, but I think know things are quiet at the moment as it is. It should pick up again in the new year.
Struggling with this one. Showed it to partner who is an excellent Guardian crossworder and he can't do it either.

Hint: Americans pronounce it differently to Brits.
Gosh! Its been a while since I did crosswords and I'd forgotten the other meanings of duck. I suppose you could have:
Herb for a change in Duck a l'Orange.
I'm sure there are better ways to phrase that... must hone my clue writing skills.
Heres a new one:
Spice came with red pod we ground. 8,4.

Probably better than "Empowered cad crushed spice".
Tailless duck gets go-ahead for a relaxing drink (5,3)
I thought the double meaning 'ground' was a bit clever. But yours is good too.
