12 fl oz pull-tab can nabbed at Molly's Spirits, Greenwood Village, CO (this is a collaboration beer between the brewery and the retailer).

"Vienna lager with coffee & maple." 5% ABV. "Lager with natural flavors."

Foam mushrooms out of the can immediately upon opening and a gentle pour still results in ~70% of my perfect pint glass being beer foam...this definitely seems overcarbonated and I imagine the maple syrup is probably partly to blame.

Body colour is a dull generic copper.

AROMA: Depleted amber malts. No toastiness at all. A hint of earthy coffee. No true maple syrup is noticeable, but there is some raw sweetness that's off-putting though not woodsy or maple-redolent.

Suggests a mediocre lager riddled with ersatz additives...

TASTE: Tastes artificial especially in terms of the maple - and the malt backbone is all wrong for a Vienna lager. Coffee is muted but there's a glimmer of it.

Too pale malt-driven; lacks Vienna malt/amber malt. Not toasty at all. Not bready.

Not a hoppy beer true to style, but some faint herbal or floral hop character would be welcome.

Thin, weak, light-bodied yet unrefreshing. Overcarbonated. A maple syrup beer really needs a more robust mouthfeel than this...

More of a pale lager with maple sugar extract adjunct than a Vienna lager with maple and coffee, but it's not bad. Wouldn't buy it again, but it's okay.

Tastes like the kind of beer you'd find in a Blue Moon variety 12-pack.
