    So I'm searching for 75 Minute IPA, and notice it has two entries:

    75 Minute IPA -- Contains all the reviews.
    75 Minute (with maple) -- Contains zero reviews. Labeled as "Retired," with the description Same as regular 75 minute.

    I think this might be wrong. If you read through the reviews under 75 Minute IPA, the first 20 or so reviews don't make one single mention of maple. None what-so-ever. Suddenly, virtually every review afterwards mentions maple.

    Just going off of this, it seems to me that the original 75 Minute IPA did NOT include maple, and was a straight blending of 90 and 60. Lumping both versions into one entity is misleading, and skews the results.

    I suggest changing the entry "75 Minute (with maple)" to "75 Minute IPA (without maple)" and moving the first 20 or so reviews to it, leaving it retired, and changing the description to Original 75 Minute IPA, without maple. A straight blend of 60 and 90 Minute IPAs.

    I believe 75 Minute was originally a cask-only beer, and it used Maple for carbonation.

    Though it looks like was served on tap according to the early reviews.

    Either way, at a minimum, it seems like a significant recipe change, since none of the reviews of the original batch(es) noted maple, while virtually every review since then has. That would seem to warrant two seperate entries, IMO.

    The original is just a straight mix of 60 and 90, which is different than this new mix that throws in the Maple Syrup, this absolutely needs changed.
