This beer is fantastic. I’m not sure if Canadians would particularlily fancy it because we are more used to maple serup but it is truly wonderful

Pours a golden brown color with a nice foamy head and quite a bit of lacing on the glass. The overall look was quite appealing. The Maple syrup effect was noticed in the aroma along with some malts. I think it tastes a little more like a Lager than a Brown Ale personally. Maybe a comination of the two because this did have a hint of spice and sour in there and certainly more flavor than a "typical" lager.

Maple? Where is the maple? Another poor wattery thin offering from Upper Canada. I wish i was able to try their beers before Sleeman’s got their hands on them.

A dilute light-bodied ale with little richness of malt or the promised maple flavoring. A quaffer. Too much fizz.

Pretty watery, thin tasting beer. A little sour, and not very maple-y. Pretty disappointing beer.

Bottle (341ml). At Smokeless Joe. Brown Ale - that’s HI-larious - it’s pretty pale lager-y. Poured a clear bubbly refractive amber with a minimal head. Aroma? Frankly, I didn’t really get any, no matter how hard I tried - I could smell the brine from the oysters halfway down the bar - okay, faint grain and some sugary malt. Flavour of stale light roast malt, a hint of maple flavouring, stale hops leading to a surprisingly bitter finsh, but not really in a good way. Mouthfeel lightly fizzy, watery and thinly syrupy. Overall, not much of anything - no adjuncts, but boring and not very much maple - and not very BROWN either.
