Brownish and slightly hazey. Nice haylike initial flavors. Very friendly. Some bitterness but much less than I expected for a brew of this style. Not over the top in personality and I appreciate that. Surprizingly good beer IMHO. Not much arom, just plain old good beer olfactory with out any negative attributes. Slight ale bitterness on the finish for a few moments.

Not a bad drinking beer but not outstanding either. The hint of maple is too understated to be a factor. Low ingredients on everything makes this a session beer.

12/27/07 - Winter Road Trip ’07 - Cask sample at brewpub. Light amber color, small, white head. Decent lacing. Fruity and caramel nose with a touch of hops. Taste is bitter throughout, touch of caramel sweetness with some fruity esters. Very Earthy bitterness and hop flavor. English style.

Cask-conditioned and hand pumped. Light maple honey notes. A woody character with mild hops. Light and pleasant aroma. Golden amber clear with thin head. Medium bodied with thin carbonation, a smooth cask ale. Starts with good floral sweetness. Some maple and honey. MIld maple wood or oaken notes. Light subtle malts. Mild bitterness and smooth after. A great session beer.

2007/12/27:On cask at North Country. Mild amber ale aroma, fruity esters with light grassy hops. Smooth and a bit woody. Clear amber-brown with creamy off-white lacing head. Medium watery body with smoooth carbonation. Great cask ale, with mild woody fruity esters. Very light hops, apple and mild grain. Delicious cask beer, reminds me of English pub ale.
