Maple Mistress

12 ounce bottle from a Kroger. Pours a hazy amber color with a large foamy white head. Fair head retention. Aroma of pale malts, mild pumpkin, mild spice. The taste is pumpkin, apple, berries, mild spice. Medium bodied, delicate and not boozy at all for an imperial. Smells kinda blah but the rest of the package is thankfully fairly nice. Decent beer.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Sparrow, 12/29/13

Aroma: The nose is cooked vegetation (pumpkin, butternut squash, etc.) and spice
Appearance: A mahogany color with a fizzy tan head that dissipates quickly leaving a small ring
Flavor: The taste is full of vegetation, with plenty of spice, and some underlying sweet malts
Palate: The body is medium-plus, it has a fizzy carbonation, and a just straight-up odd finish
Overall Impression: I've never seem anything from this brewery before (at least that I can recall), but it is always good to see a new brewery randomly show up in my local stores. Anyway, as for the beer, this one is certainly interesting. One of those beers where half way through I'm not even sure whether I liked it or not. Still, it is very much worth trying. Eventually I decided that I like this for one bottle's worth, but I've got 3 more, if I end up drinking those, we shall see if I still like it.

Sampled on tap at the Bier Baron DC. Pours a slightly hazy amber with some thin, creamy head. Nose is very sweet smelling, maple, spice, fake pumpkin. Flavor is a little better, still sweet, plenty of maple, roasted parsnips and squash, some mild spice. Sweet finish. A little one note.

$2.20 Bottle, Wine Warehouse, CHO. Pours... ok, there are chunks in this beer. Like chunks of snot or glue. Pours a chunk dark amber with a small head. Chunks settle to the bottom. Very mild aroma. Light maple and pumpkin. Some spicing. Taste is heavy nutmeg and cinnamon, light maple, pumpkin, and copper. The chunks turned out to be not-so-well blended spices as the beer was spicier the more I drank.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a brown-orange color with a medium sized foamy orange-tan head that faded and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was sweet squash, cinnamon butter, pumpkin pie, pie dough and brown sugar. The flavor was very sweet pumpkin pie, pie crust, candied yams and brown sugar. Medium length finish. Moderately full bodied and smooth. The alcohol was well contained. Odd but quite good.

Bottle. Clrar deep golden color, bright white head with good retention. Aroma of goird and light spice. Taste is gourd forward on a background of nutmeg, cinnamon. Nice enough.
