Bottle pour at Farmhouse Fest 2023, pours a hazy blonde with a tiny white head with some chunks. Flavour is neutral, with light oak, and a touch of rustic saison yeast. Flavour is gently tart, with light oak, gentle rustic notes, and a touch of white wine. Rustic, oaky, but a bit lacking. Decent.

Bottle pour at Farmhouse Fest 2023, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out English bready malt, light cocoa and soil. Flavour is tart and buggy, with light cocoa, tart cherries, and earthy soil-like notes. Cocoa, tart cherries on the finish, with a flat, chunky palate. It's okay.

Bottle pour at Farmhouse Fest 2023, pours an opaque dark peachy pink with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of ros� notes, light cherry and some bugs. Flavour is bright and acidic, with lots of tart cherries, ros� notes, acidity and some funk. Too acidic but the blend of cherry and ros� is very nice. Good stuff.

A taster shared with Josh, Matt, Phill, and Ryan during FHF with priceless Rachel's (yup, again!) help in organizing all the mess with glasses. Appearance: hazy blonde with a white head. Aroma: nice fruity character with some sweetness and juicyness. Taste: same, sparkly. Overall: very nice.

Poured from 355mL can (pkg 08 May 2023). Hazy yellow with small white head. Mild citrus hops, some resin bitterness in the background, all around decent, but not a standout.

Can. I mean they tell me on the can to enjoy ducks and it's true. Wood ducks, widgeons, buffleheads and other fancy ducks are welcome winter visitors to these parts. Plus, I live around the corner from Wuhan Spicy Duck Neck, which sells only one product, and you can probably guess what it is. Ducks are quite the awesome creatures. This beer is opaque. The aroma has a bit of dankology, some alliesque leek notes, only a kiss of mandarin. So it smells like a Welshman smoking sketchy weed whilst drinking orange juice. The poor Welshman does not have access to the clean and bright strains we have over here. Tastes about that, too. Lowish bitterness, the malts are decent. Good things here, but maybe not as coherent as I'd prefer.
