Jun 20, 2009 Bomber - Pours a clear dark amber in color with a small light tan head that stuck around. Aroma is slightly citric, slightly sweet, malty and medium hoppy. No evidence of the maple at this point. Flavor has some of the wheatiness that I would expect, some hoppy flavor and some hop bitterness. I am surprised at the small amount of maple flavor that this beer has... it needs more.

Jun 20, 2009 Light brisk orange with a nice yellowed head. Very woody to the nose, quite thick and boozy. Resiny, a little sweet. Woah, so thin! Watery with light maple sweetness a bit burnished but quite tame. Interesting and drinkable but quite bland and a little bit green.

Jun 3, 2009 From a bottle poured a dark copper color with a fair amount of head. Nice sweet malty flavor with a quick finish. Similar to a light dunkelweisse.

May 29, 2009 Deep amber beer with a thick white head. Aroma is god-awful. Slightly rancid with cooked corn, wheat and sweet sticky spoiled oranges. Cloying sugary sweetness. I don’t get any maple, but I do get about another 21 oz of shit I can’t drink. It’s been awhile since I dumped something, but I couldn’t think of a crappier beer to give the dishonour to.

May 29, 2009 22oz bottle. Pours copper with a foamy off-white head. Aroma has a sweet maple syrup aroma dominating. Also lots of wheat, hops, sugar, and malt. Taste starts off way too bitter with way too much sugar. It takes a few sips to get past the sugary taste, but it never subsides. Nice, sweet maple syrup taste. Very lightly hopped taste. Big, bready malt backbone. Lots of wheat and floral notes. Mouthfeel is medium and creamy. Just too damned sugary. Finish is all maple. I thought for a moment this beer was going to put me in a diabetic coma. It started off promising, but was just too muddled.

May 27, 2009 Pours about the color of meduim amber maple syrup. Aroma is caramel, and wheat. Mouthfeel is medium witha good amount of carbonation. Flavor is kind of blah at first, with a bit of sweet malt, and some hop bitterness, though no actual hop flavor. The maple comes through in the finish leaving this tasting better once it’s gone.

May 24, 2009 (22 oz. bottle from Bootleggers) Pours somewhat cloudy burnt orange/amber with a tall lumpy off-white head. Aroma is somewhat bready with some caramel and traces of maple syrup. Mouthfeel is wheaty smooth, perhaps a little heavier than an average wheat ale. Lots of patchy, foamy lacing. Flavor of light maple sweetness, wheat malt and alcohol. Maybe a touch of banana as it warms. A little hot toward finish, so along with the wheat quality it is a little reminiscent of a weizenbock but nowhere near as tasty or complex as a good example of that style.
