Well behaved ducks rarely make history, so we continue to break all the rules regarding style parameters. Here we craft a session ale on a light base of wheat and 2-row malts. The simplified malt bill and low ABV allow the beauty of Mosaic hops and fresh citrus to shine through. Light, crisp, and delicately refreshing this brew allows you to "Waddle" away and forge your own footprint.

The brewery's tap list names a wheat and 2-row malt base and Mosaic hops. It also says Mosaic hops "and fresh citrus" shine through; it is not clear whether citrus is an added ingredient or a flavor note, so no adjunct is recorded. No yeast is named.
