Tap. Pours clear reddish amber with a small tan head, creamy with some lacing. Aroma is caramel and maple dominated. Flavor is the same, medium sweet, lightly bitter, with a touch of something like orange zest mixed with metal on the finish. I have had a couple other maple beers that finished this way as well, and I am not a fan. Light body, some warming on the finish from the ABV.

Dégustée en fût au Farmhouse Tap & Grill à Burlington, VT. De couleur ambrée foncée et voilée. Nez sucré de sirop d’érable, léger de caramel et de sucre brun avec des notes de pain grillé et de houblon herbeux. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-doux ainsi qu’une texture aux petites notes huileuses. Léger goût de pain et de grains sucrés légèrement rôtis lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût sucré de sirop d’érable, léger de caramel terreux avec des traces de sucre brun puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux avec des notes d’alcool et d’épices (poivre très doux). Post-goût moyen, composé d’un résiduel sucré de sirop d’érable et de malt avec une légère amertume de houblon herbeux ainsi que des traces d’alcool. (12 mai 2013)

Picked this up at the latest Farmers Market. I believe $8 a bottle. Enjoyed in a Hill Farmstead glass at cellar temp (60F)

A - Minimal head, dark amber brown.

S - Maple sweetness, some spiciness, brown sugar and lemons.

T - Taste is very sweet up front and at the finish. Middle is ground pepper and carrots. The lingering is very dry and very astringent.

M - Medium body and carbonation.

O - I thought this beer would be a little sweeter, maybe less boozy. It’s not that great but still drinkable.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber brown with a near white head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma is a bit thin with a sweet grain and fruit note as well as a hint of caramel. Flavor is thin as well with sweet grains some fruit and a bit of caramel and maple in the finish. The lack of maple really let me down.
