This malty, smooth maple cream ale has a hint of maple syrup, with a mild hop bitterness. It’s a tribute to both Quebec’s legendary sugar shacks, and the tin roofs that littered this island back in the day. Big saps welcome. Get Under the Bridge. Tastes of caramel malt with light hop bitterness, balances the malt flavours with hints of maple without being sweet.

Attractive orange-bronze colour. Light aroma - caramel, cardboard. Vapid flavour - water, crackers, caramel. Wet finish. Lifeless beer of no consequence.

Subtle hints of caramel and maple. Obviously trying to cash in on the honey brown market and like many beers in this market segment, it kinda sucks.

No aroma. Pale brown no head. Slight honeyish malt taste, but I did not detect maple. Lightbodied.

Actually , I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Sparkling brown color with a small beige head. Light, sweet maple nose. Foretaste is light fruity yeast with a sweet malpe sugar type finish. Great belgian lace. Actually it was much better than it sounds
