Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a slim cap of eggshell foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: roasty coffee tones up front, dark malts, some chocolate then a faint dose of maple
Flavor: roasty initially through the prior mentioned aromas then the maple sweet balances in underneath; mild aftertaste of roasty coffee to chocolate tones
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; maple helps to subjugate the roast and make this beer somewhat smooth along the tongue; finishes with faint tones of maple syrup and some roasty coffee tones
Overall: it's not a bad attempt of doing a maple porter but don't expect a ton of maple to be there. I think I could do this again for me.

Aroma: tropical fruity and citrusy hop tones with subtle melon and sweet grassy to zesty hoppiness; clean malts
Flavor: semi-sweet to zesty hop character blending with the clean malts; mild aftertaste of the zestiness and semi-sweetness of the hops
Texture: between light and medium bodied, somewhat sessionable, sly smoothness with some zesty hop abrasion; finishes citrusy hoppy and melon-like with some hop zest
Overall: I'd say a pretty good NEIA I believe I could come back to.

2025 version, draught. Very faintly cloudy golden with a very small frothy off-white head that immediately disappears into a ring, faint citrusy aroma, low carbonation, medium sour funky taste, citrusy flavor, smooth body, long finish. Smooth and easy to drink.
