7/10
Very hop heavy resin, citrus, and bitterness. Over a very sweet base. Lingering similarly. Balance actually works nicely. Orange creamsicle? No. Good beer. Yes.

750ml @ Phill's (thx for the beer!) during Gene's visit. Appearance: dark copper, with a beige head. Aroma: maple syrup bomb with some dark fruits, and some sweetness. Taste: along the same lines. Overall: still not sure why breweries call these maple syrup bottles a beer.

Medium brown. This has a big maple and some chocolate as well. Not subtle. On the palate, the body is light, maybe in part because of the age. The taste is pretty heavily on the maple, with again a light chocolate note. Sweet, and without a lot of nuance.

Poured from 750mL bottle (approx 10 years old). Dark brown with small beige head. Nice maple character, mild chocolate and roast. Has held up quite nicely.

Fairly clean, golden colour with a big frothy-creamy warm off-white head, good retention and loads of creamy-soapy lacing. Big fruity aromas with berry notes, tart, coffee grinds and a touch of grassy hops. Nice alcohol in the taste with the fruitiness and herbs. Yes, I am getting this coffee-tart thing again. Subtle, but interesting. Quite a swell raspberry DIPA that is refreshing, warming and goes down nicely.

473ml can. Pours a hazy orange yellow with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Sweet fruity aroma of grainy pale malt, orange, peach, pineapple, coconut, cedar and weedy hops. Sweet flavour of grainy pale malt, tangerine, mango, pineapple, coconut, honeydew melon and pine resin in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a slick texture and average carbonation. Juicy and crushable.

Medium brown. Smells like a lot of chocolate. Artificial, though. Medium body, chocolate quik sort of taste. Very artificial. So not sure how hard they were trying here. Cheap supermarket hot chocolate, lowish bitterness. This may be a non-horrible beer, but it does not connect with my soul.
