Slightly hazy with a apricot/ caramel color to it, pours with a half finger of thin looking, tan colored head that has a poor retention to it and leaves almost zero lacing.
Fairly sweet smelling maple aroma with a very faint hoppy lager hint on the back-end.
Pretty sweet tasting forward with a good amount of maple flavor, almost syrupy in its sticky sweetness.
Medium bodied malt base with an average amount of carbonation to it, light caramel bread-pudding flavor to the malt with a faint note of apples to it.
Ghostly hint of a lager bite to the finish on the back-end but it gets pretty much overwhelmed by the almost cloying maple sweetness of the front-end, leaves a lingering sweet caramel and maple flavor rolling around the mouth on the aftertaste.
A bit over-sweet with a good maple flavor but misses the mark for a bit for the lager part of it.

Appearance - Pours a warm maple colour with a finger of foamy cream coloured head.
Smell - bready and biscuity malts, notes of caramel, hint of maple, and earthy and leafy hops.
Taste - Sweetness of maple syrup and bready/biscuity malts hits your palate first. The hops are non-existent.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes a tad sticky.
Overall - A brew that pays homage to our national symbol (the maple leaf). I wasn't expecting as much maple in the taste since the maple aroma was subdued. For some, this beer may be a bit cloying.

330ml bottle, part of the Canada 150 variety pack from Big Rock that celebrates our nation's upcoming birthday via 6 brews that represent the diversity of said land. A patriotic brew that describes the colonization of Quebec, via a few handy-dandy sentence fragments - it's Big Rock marketing, all right.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and fizzy off-white head, which leaves a few instances of low-lying fog bank lace around the glass as it quickly dissipates.
It smells of grainy and bready pale malt, a lesser caramel sweetness, thin maple syrup, perhaps a touch of bruised pome fruitiness, and very, very faint earthy, weedy, and leafy noble hop bitters. The taste is semi-sweet, bready and doughy caramel malt, store-brand maple syrup, a hint of lager yeast, mild dark orchard fruity notes, and more understated earthy, musty, and dead floral 'verdant' hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its quotidian frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, the fancy breakfast staple doing well to aid and abet here. It finishes off-dry, the lingering malt and maple not as sweet as one might have been anticipating.
Overall, this is an approachable and enjoyable enough version of the style (that being beers made with maple), with the guest ingredient's sweetness quotient kept quite below yer typical pancake or Belgian waffle level. Not something that I'd wish to pound back much more of, but it's good in its own right.
