Taster at brewery. Light amber pour, spotty head. Light, sweet maple aroma. Taste matches the light maple notes to the sweet malt backbone for an overall flavor that just seems natural. Pairing brings an almost bourbon like character (minus the burn).

Cask at GBBF'19 Day 1, 06/08/19. Lightly hazed orange golden with an off white head. Nose is toffee, spice, herb, biscuit, fruit esters. Taste comprises bready notes, grains, herb, light spice, stewed fruits. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Ok offering ... again a style I'd rather have on keg.

Cask at the Great British Beer Festival 2019 - London. Pours unclear gold with a light, foamy white head. Fairly sweet, with bready pale lager malt character, light honey. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet and doughy in the finish, notes of white bread. Very basic, modestly drinkable.

16 oz. can. A near clear orange color, plenty of bubbly carbonation. Flavor has soft maple when cold. As it warms, maple and maple sugar comes forward. Slight yeast. Nothing wrong with it other then not much balance.

Cask at GBBF 2019. Sweet malty aroma. Hazy honey amber. A few bubbles. Light bitter. A tad sour. Medium bodied. Slick. Astringent finish. Doesn't do much for me.
