Tall boy can, good news, obtained from Half Time. I pour into a snifter to see a semi-transparent, pale yellow liquid with a disappearing, white head. A fruity, pineapple smell with a touch of pine. And the taste follows along, tropical to a degree with pineapple leading, hops, varnish and malt. Decent, okay, not rewriting the ipa book.

Can that was pushed in the back corner of my fridge. Aroma is showing me light caramel and lager yeast. Taste is sweet malts, a tad of biscuit with a normal co2 level. Body is on the light side even for the style. Very average.

Can says 5.5% - may be different. Pours murky tea into a stein. Off-white head quickly recedes to nothing. Sweet caramel and vanilla aromas. Sharp with sweet nilla wafer and caramel upfront turning to mild earthy bark in the medium length finish.

Can from the Packie Murky red purple in color with a thin pink head that dissipates quickly. Huge berry aroma and flavor with hints of lemon and grapefruit to counter. Very chunky mouthfeel like a smoothie from Orange Julius.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a slightly clear glow towards the bottom that shows deep brown, all with a three centimetre tall, rich brown head that is quite soapy and fades rather quickly. Aroma of yeast, soap, light Aunt Jemima [read, not real] maple syrup and a dash of bread and some roasted malts with a hint of coffee, too. Medium-bodied; Strong rich yeast and roasted malt flavours dominate with some coffee and perhaps a touch of maple tastes that show a good deal of bitterness coupled with a large sweetness and a hint of umami and mushroomy like earthy qualities. Aftertaste shows the relatively strong yeast, bread and malt components with a little maple syrup flavours and some softer sweetness perhaps from pure caster sugar or caramel, but finishing bitter from the roasted malts and the earthy bitterness with a deep astringent quality that shows seemingly a lot of alcohol, even though there isn't much here. Overall, a relatively nice beer that shows some decent qualities, but definitely not enough of the [real] maple syrup or complex malt notes, especially as this has been aged a bit - this is poor in terms of the malt and body, but also with the maple flavours which taste fake and corn syrup-based. I sampled this sixteen ounce can, purchased from Winooski Beverage Warehouse in Winooski, Vermont on 19-September-2016 for US$3,54 sampled a bit more than three years later at home in Washington on 09-December-2019. If you have a can of this somewhere, it would be my recommendation to just drink it now and keep the aging space for something more worthwhile.
