Each season we brew this wheat ale with real Vermont maple syrup. The ale is light golden color just like real maple syrup. This has a light maple flavor with a mildly sweet body. Pale, wheat and carapils malts are used with Tettnanger and Cascade hops and pure Vermont maple syrup.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a cloudy orange with small off white head. The aroma is maple, caramel, wheat. Light body, maple, honey, wheat, light finish, good.

Pours a hazy amber colour with a fizzy head that disappears very quickly leaving no lace. Mild fruity malt aromas with hints of caramel and maple syrup. The maple syrup is more present in the taste. Gets stronger in the aftertaste. A little too sweet, too rich for my licking as not much other malts or wheat support this. Wish the wheat was stronger, better. Not so bad, but not something I would want to have again.

Tap, at the brewery. Chalkboard states 5.5%. Pale, hazy gold. Thin, white head. Sweet, and wheaty. Smells like Weetabix ladled in syrup. Not much in the way of relief from the sweetness. Taste is more of the same. Palate is a bit gluey. Some bitterness on the finish, but overall it’s too sweet for me.

Bottled. An amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of maple syrup, malt, spices, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, maple syrup, wheat, caramel, and spices, leading to a dry finish.

Rcvd in trade. Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a red/amber colored clear body with a two finger white foamy head that rapidly dissipates and leaves a tad of lacing in its wake.
The smell had a maple aroma up front but not overbearing just combined nicely with some light malt and wheat, slight apples very faint.
The taste was mainly sweet with the previously mentioned flavors, maple becomes predominant and lingers into aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, it sat about a medium, sessionable, adequate carbonation.
Overall, wow, what a nice brew, unsure if its truly an APA, but hey I’d have this one again.

Dégustée en fût chez "The Reservoir Restaurant & Taproom" à Waterbury, VT. De couleur ambrée et claire. Nez de sirop d’érable, léger de blé, de pain et de houblon herbeux avec des traces de sucre brun. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture aux notes huileuses. Goût sucré de sirop d’érable avec des notes de noix lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un moyen goût de blé avec des notes de pain et quelques traces de sucre brun puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux. Post-goût moyen, composé d’un léger goût de sirop d’érable avec des notes de houblon herbeux. (1er mai 2013)

Glowing amber coloured body with a copper tint and a very odd, soda-like carbonation that keeps buzzing at the top, but without a head at all, very interesting. Aroma of maple, soda, sugar and a little cherry scent. Medium-bodied; Very mild, maple flavour at first with some bread, yeast, sugars and not much else, perhaps a touch of malt. Aftertaste shows a very mild characteristic with perhaps some maple, but not much of anything, really. Overall, a pretty interesting beer with hardly any flavour, no complexity and no malt depth at all. Not really worth trying, especially for the price. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 28-May-2012 for US$5.55 sampled at home in Washington on 12-October-2012.

Bomber from Whole Foods Market Paramus. Pours a hazy light brown color with a fizzy off-white head that fades almost instantly. Aroma of wheat, apples, faint nuts and maple. The taste is wheat, nuts, maple, some toastiness and a mild hop finish. Medium bodied, high carbonation. A little weak, but okay.

Pours clear copper with weak loose somewhat white head of foam. The aroma has some wheat notes and a sweet malt enhanced floral sensation. The taste is nice and wheat like and almost pulling up a bitter note but that’s filled in with sweetness that tastes a little like maple syrup. This has a nice balance where I get a touch of sweet fruity esters joining the other notes into the finish.

22 oz. bottle from the brewery. Amber color in a weizen glass, low carbonation didn’t leave any head or lace. Nose is light maple. Flavor is wheat based, with a maple sugar finish. Body is fairly light. Not overly sweet. Short clean finish.
