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.

355ml can. Pours a hazy gold yellow with yeast particles that sink to the bottom and a medium, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, grapefruit, pineapple, mango, papaya and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, tangerine, grapefruit, guava, pineapple, honeydew, peach, earthy yeast and piney hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Juicy and delicious.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a large dark brown foamy head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma of chocolate notes with some strong cherry notes and light vinous notes are also perceptible. Taste is a mix of chocolate and cherry with some vinous notes with some oak presence also detectable. Body is average with good carbonation. Interesting mix of cherry and chocolate but not sure it is something I would have on a regular basis.

375ml (thx, Peter K.!) @ Matt's new place. Appearance: rose ish golden with a white head. Aroma: funky, buggy, grapy. Taste: along the same lines, almost no acidity in here (surprise! first time in my life I would like to get more acidity in my beer!). Quite a tannic finish. It's very interesting that it has a quite nice lambic funk in the early and middle finish that lasts for 1-2 minutes after you swallow the beer. Overall: a real nice one.

Bottle August 2020. 375mL bottle, pours a hazy dull golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out red grape skins, some bugs, and a touch of oak. Flavour reveals crisp grape skins, wild yeast, and oak. Dry, buggy, vinous, and cohesive. Excellent.
