Description
Maplewood opened with the mission to push liquid boundaries in an unassuming building nestled in Chicago’s historic Logan Square neighborhood.

The first of its kind to establish brewing and distilling roots under a single roof, Maplewood has been producing finely crafted beer and spirits out of their 10BBL brewhouse and 250L Kothe hybrid still since 2014. Three years after moving into the production facility, Maplewood opened the Lounge, a neighborhood bar doubling as a cocktail parlor and brewery taproom. Beginning commercial distribution throughout Illinois shortly after settling into the Logan Square space, Maplewood has since expanded their distribution footprint into Missouri, SW Michigan, Northern Indiana, Wisconsin and Kansas. Maplewood’s patrons have come to expect expertly crafted beer in a wide range of styles.

Enjoyed at home on a Friday night in mid August. Cloudy gold, juice like, citrusy nose and it goes down with a bite. Enjoyable.

16 oz. can thanks to tfontana. Thanks for the opportunity! Aroma is mostly tropical fruit. Flavor shows mild passionfruit, guava like notes. In the finish it does show some herb / pine, citrus pith. Pretty good balance between fruit and herb. Very mild juice character. Nice brew.

Can (5/10/22) from Total Wine & More, Brentwood. It's an opaque orange juice with light sparkle, finger-plus width white foamy head with good retention and nice rings of lacing. Aroma is strong candied fruit--grape, tropical fruit, pineapple and a hint of lime. Taste is strong tropical fruit, pineapple, orange. Mouthfeel is light bodied with thin, smooth texture, soft carbonation and crisp finish as taste. Overall, much as you'd expect from this hop, nice and juicy. Decent complexity. Weirdly thin for the style.
