    It's Lawson's Maple Tripple. I actually don't much care for maple in a beer, as I don't think many brewers do it right. Lawson's does though.

    The Lawson's out now is the Maple Fayston which is blended with Maple Syrup as opposed the Maple Barrel aged Fayston which is what youbrewidrink is referring to.

    Sorry, I think I got this wrong, I bought the Maple Fayston that Ferillo mentioned. Bought at beverage warehouse. Sorry for the confusion.

    In my opinion there is no such thing. I wish the OP the best of luck on finding something he likes, but Good God I hate maple beers. I realize this wasn't very helpfull.

    Yes, I thought it was a pretty good maple. Note that I prefer complexity over "one taste forward" styles. You can taste the maple and it's not cloying and/or "in-your-face".

    Cheers!

    Actually, scratch that Dave's Not Here, also by Founders, was terrific. Red's Rye PA aged in a blend of barrels which I believe were maple/bourbon, rye, and brandy.

    I'll give it a whirl if I get a chance. Don't like to pass judgment on a beer I haven't had. Have you had the Maple Trippel yet? I'm perma ISO.

    The old Pete's Wicked Maple Porter used to be.
    While the bottled version doesn't really hold up, Tommyknocker's Maple Nut Brown is good stuff on tap.

    Not exclusively a maple-based beer but DFH Immort Ale is one of the greatest beverages ever created, especially with some age on it.

    I would say brewed with maple, not blended, that kinda implies a post fermentation addition which is not the case with faystons.
    To echo everyone else, Maple tripple is all awesome, all of Lawson's maple brews are great. I was happily surprised by how good the Peak Organic maple collab is too.
