does not count Potatoking (2), Canada Sep 17, 2005 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
changeup45 (557), Orlando, Florida, USA Apr 13, 2008 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. robinvboyer (980), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada Aug 7, 2007 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. DerWeg (398), Tronna, Ontario, Canada Apr 27, 2006 A dilute light-bodied ale with little richness of malt or the promised maple flavoring. A quaffer. Too much fizz. Abel (13), Chicago, Illinois, USA Apr 10, 2006 Pretty watery, thin tasting beer. A little sour, and not very maple-y. Pretty disappointing beer. HogTownHarry (3175), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Feb 21, 2006 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.
