Heritage Smokin Maple

Cask at Volo Cask Day 2006. Pours a hazy golden-yellow with a spare diminishing white head, Aroma of sweet malt, maple syrup, brown sugar and fruit -- no smoke though. Flavour of sweet malt, grain, maple and light hops. Medium bodied. Pretty good but I got no smoke at all from it.

Cask. Hazy yellow-golden body. Acidic aroma - peaches, apple, and grape skins. Heavy palate - sticky malts, sugary fruit, touch of smoked dark malt. Strange.

Cask @ Volo. Not bad. Poured a cloudy and yellow-gold colour. Taste was sweet(I tasted sweet more than maple) with a bitter after taste. I didnt pick up too much of a smokey taste.

Cask at Volo Cask Day 2006. Light, hazy yellow-gold. Aroma of maple candy and orange juice, not much smoke. Flavour hold more maple and dark sugar, some fruitiness, and still not much smoke. I didn’t mind it, but I really hoped for a smokier character.

Cask. Aroma: sweet citrus nose, orange, sweet maple. Good combination. Appearance: hazy gold, with smallish white (pourous) head. Green, citrussy front, short bitterness followed with sweet finish. Drinkable bitter-sweet ale. I am afraid that hops and maple totally covered smoked malts with its dominance here.
