From a 12oz can. Nice amber lager from the midwest. A little lighter in appearance than expected but with a nice malty backbone and dry-ish finish. If it was available near me I’d definitely add it to my rotation.

12oz can from Rich, purchased at brewery. A bit old (6 months). Dark golden, fizzy head. Aroma is toasted malts, bready. Taste is malty, sweet and has a small amount of bitterness. Seems to have held up OK.

12 fl oz can:
4.9% ABV. "Amber lager."
Compares unfavorably to something like Yuengling or Michelob Lager, and its toastiness impedes drinkability.
Far from a stellar amber lager, but it's not awful in spite of its many shortcomings.
C- / BELOW AVERAGE

Had Flying Duck poured from 12-oz. can, bottom stamped, presumably, canned on "0924[20]," into pilsener glass.
Pours a deep red-amber, with 1-finger plus light tan head and good retention, but pulling only a few specks of lace down the glass. A little hop spice and then big caramel malt aroma off the pour, with stone fruits and a bit of funk joining as warms. On drinking, sweet fruit starts then caramel malt follows, with a bit of graininess, and a little funk before a surprising and pleasantly dry finish.
In the end, this beer is all about the caramel malt aroma and flavor.
