Can 1 pint. Pours an almost clear golden with a rich and frothy head - looks like a Czech Pils! Aroma is very subtle, lurking underneath the dense head - spiced in an odd way. Medium body, veryperfumy and then dry to an extreme defgree where astringency sets in. I very much doubt that this is what was intended. It doesn't taste like maple at all and it's so astringent that it's like chewing painkillers. Misfit, sorry. 201219

Can. Light haze on this gold beer, big fluffy pale cream colour head. Light and fairly dry palate, decent fine carbonation. Yikes, I know Decadent like to push the boundaries but this is a strange one. Bitter maple, tangy bitter, bitter toffee. Pine and citrus underneath. Bitter maple finish. Weird. Really fucking weird.

16 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but is a recent local release. Pours very hazy/cloudy deep golden/orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, light peppercorn/pine, honey, maple syrup, brown sugar, wheat, biscuit dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, maple syrup, and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, light peppercorn/pine, honey, maple syrup, brown sugar, wheat, biscuit dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Mild pine, citrus peel/zest, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, light peppercorn/pine, honey, maple syrup, brown sugar, wheat, biscuit dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, maple syrup, and bready malt flavors; with a solid malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Slight lingering resins/rinds. Minimal warming alcohol for 9.1%. Overall this is an incredible flavored NEDIPA. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, maple syrup, and bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the big ABV, with the mildly bitter/drying finish, fanatically soft feel. Amazingly juicy, and lightly dank/earthy Citra/Mosaic hop profile; with perfectly balanced maple syrup, and wheat/oat/malt backbone. Not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and outstanding spot on style example as expected. All of their NEIPAs are similarly impressive.

Can from Cap Tap. Pours translucent gold with a slight white head. Maple wafts from the pour. Aroma is maple over some sort of hop and caramel. Med + body. Flavor is maple, with caramel support, but there seems to be pine too. Not really dry; moderately bitter. I'm not really sure this was the thing to do to a DIPA.

Pales in comparison to Québec maple, but way better than Airbnb maple. Basically think about getting your favorite hazy, mixing it with 1:4 of fancy maple syrup. This is delicious as it is overly sweet but the IPA continues to balance it. Comes close!

Pounder: Maple syrup nose, lemon zest. Cloudy amber, medium head, good glass adherence.Maple syrup, aspartame. lemon. Medium body, easy carbonation. This didn't work for me. Too cloying. I'm not opposed to this beer's concept, but I'd like to see the maple subdued and adding little sweetness.
