Methode Haze
Maplewood Brewery & Distillery

 

 

Crowler into a tulip snifter. Canned 12/22/18, had 1/7/19.

Looks like an orange juice milkshake, with a one and a half inch foamy head with very good retention and lots of foamy lacing. He aroma starts with lots of citrus- orange, some grapefruit, some mango, light malt and vanilla. Has a somewhat dank aroma. The flavor comes across more tropical than the nose- orange, mango, maybe some passion fruit, less grapefruit, seems like some lactose but don’t think it’s in here, malt, a light dankness. Smooth, creamy, a very good lighter body, well carbonated.

Terrific example of the style. Great aromas and flavors, looks great too. Very enjoyable, solid across the board.

 

Canned 11/23/19; drank 12/14/19 @ the Yarchives.

Opaque dull orange/yellow appearance.

A violent pour yielded a HUGE eggshell head; decent lace.

Orange peel & table sugar notes in the nose.

Sticky medium thick mouthfeel.

Tangy orange peel & table sugar flavors up front; dry wheat notes on the finish.

The flavor is strong, but not totally appealing to me. Not one I'll track down again.

 

 

 

Tasted in a snifter from draft at Beer Bazaar on January 7, 2019. Brewed with Citra and Meridian hops. Hazy New England style double IPA with lots of juicy fruit flavors.

 

2018: Boom, Rogersauce.

2021: Still consistently Maplewood’s best haze, the blueprint.

Opaque pale orange ample foam and sticky lacing.
Bursting with juicy nectarine, tangerine, peach, and mango aromas. Later some jackfruit and light bubblegum notes, very citrus forward. No “table sugar”, lol. If a brewery wanted to make sugar water, you'd know.

Bitter grapefruit, orange and tangerine peel, resiny dandelion greens. Smooth feel with a creamy texture, lingering resiny bitterness obliterates light initial sweetness. Medium bodied with softly textured carbonation. Overall this is well made and not sickly sweet as many juice bombs can be.

Thanks to Thomas for this one!
