Disapointed with this one. Where is the maple as promised? Couldn’t taste barely a trace in an entire 6 pack. The cream is present but half-complete does not make a beer. On a note, the nose is inviting.

Aug 29, 2008 Pours a pale brown with a thin fleeting head and some lace. Aroma is light and sweet. I could almost imagine maple syrup, though I never really could taste it even in the original. Sweet and buttery tasting, with a hint of chocolate malt. Tastes almost like a bitter but with less in the way of hops. Minimal carbonation and a thin body. Very sessionable but unsatisfying. Not as awful as the Blue Buck, and the chocolate malt adds an interesting touch, but hardly their best.

Aug 17, 2008 Bottle given to me from Joss. Amber with a thin white head. Aroma is light caramel, faint chocolate, and malt showing. Taste is a light roastiness with caramel, and malt showing. Good session beer.

Jun 30, 2008 Apparently not retired, or possibly retooled, since I found it on draft in a bar in Victoria on 6/28/08. My first maple beer. Palate is somewhat light and not as sweet or syrupy as I thought it might be. The maple flavor is subtle but definitely noticeable. Other than the maple flavor, there’s nothing too interesting about this beer.
