Can thanks to Carlos! Pours cloudy yellow, large fluffy white head, dissipates leaving nice lacing. Aroma is pine, dank herbs, orange zest, melon. Flavor is light sweet, light bitter. Medium body. Solid, but its about 6 weeks old; I bet it was better then!

Pint can from Binny's. I tried this in a long, narrow Stenge glass for Pilseners. This showed a golden beer, typical of a pale lager, with just a slight bit of haze, and a sudsy head. The smell is slightly peppery, with a slight note of sodium from soft water, and a bit of skunk. The taste is malty but dry, with some sharp pepper from the choice of hops. It's a standard 5.1% abv, and feels like it. I've had only a few imported Polish lagers that could be considered fresh, but they seemed to have a similar dryness and a bit of hop prickle. Maplewood's Pulaski comes close to that kind of taste.

Pour is a very dark brown, almost black with a small tan head. Aroma is toasted malt and a strong cold brewed coffee. Flavor has more of the vanilla used albeit not a abundance of vanilla. Finish has some dry roast. The coffee in the aroma is not found in the flavor but the malt and adjuncts make up for that. Decent beer that's not as sweet as I thought it was going to be.

Pour is a darker brown with a small tan head. Aorma is a decent oat and char malt. Flavor is again a decent charred malt with some roasted malt and a decent hit of bitterness. Pretty flavorful but light oatmeal stout.

Draught @ Maplewood, Chicago. Sweetish, ripe juicy fruity and hoppy with some caramely malts, pine, citrus and tropical notes. Smooth and balanced.

Pour is a hazy blonde with a large white head. Aroma is maybe some pine apple juice with a bit of peach. Flavor is a little peach and grapefruit with a moderate bitterness. Decent fruit although this is very light all around for the style. Decent east drinker, just needed a bit more oomph.

Pour is a clear golden with a large bubbly white head. Aroma is a decent cracker malt with some nice spicy hops. Flavor is a super dry cracker malt with a nice eye opening spicy herbal hop. Maybe a little light in body but crushable for sure.
