(bottle) clear reddish brown colour with a small brown head; aroma of fruit, dried longans; big hoppy flavour with a long strong bitter finish; it is more of an imperial IPA than anything else

Another great limited edition beer from FM that comes in a box. Pours a clean copper colour with a beige creamy head, decent retention and some lacing. Big maple syrup nose taking over the aroma department. Hints of molasses and toffee, caramel malts. Sweet malty taste with the maple and the hoppy bitterness shows up. It does become quite sweet with the syrup but at least the mouthfeel is not syrupy, but slightly dry. I do not feel the wheat, but an overall good brew for those who like the maple syrup. A little too sweet for my taste, for such a bit bottle like this.

(Draught at Bar Hop, Nov 1 2013) Pours a very dark brown with reddish highlights, small white head didn’t last. Aroma is ancho pepper, sweet toffee malt core, slightly roasted/smoked but maybe just from the peppers. Flavour darker malts, smoky, slight roast, and then from mid-palate on the pepper kicks in. Dry, smoky, spicy. That smoky ancho pepper sensation lingers on the palate a while. Mouthfeel and carb both average. Did not really get the pumpkin, but this was quite a good pepper beer.

A hazed blonde ale with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet lemonade over pine needle, spruce juice, and light sulfur. In mouth, a sweet cloying lemony malt with spruce beer notes, malt, alcohol pop. On tap at Arrow and Loon as White Lightning Lemonade Beer.

Way too much espresso here. Overwhelms everything. Pours cloudy dark brown. Has some bitterness in finish and some sourness without much depth. Cask Days 2013.

A dark brown ale with a thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet musty caramel malt with loads of coffee resins, floral hops, quite nice. In mouth, a nice sweet caramel malt with nutty notes, light coffee, and treacle. Cask Days 2013.
