This red poured a cloudy, deep red colour with a big, creamy, reddy beige head. Nice lacing. Scents include light ripe fruit, must, nuts and a little brown sugar. First swig was a little disappointing. Flavours of malt, ripe fruit, hops and minimal white wine? Finish is malty with hoppy bitterness lingering.

Originally rated June 2005. This maple premium lager pours a deep red and brown caramel colour. Lacing is left, so is a coating on the brew. The nose is mainly malt. Good creamy smooth mouthfeel. Taste is malty as well for the beginning, then hits a grain finish with hints of apple. Hardly any sign of maple in this one, just slight sweetness. If you are looking for a maple beer, be sure to check out Schoune à l’érable. Still a good premium amber lager.

Clear brown lager with a thin resilient off-white head. I can get the lemon but the maple comes as beer warms. I do note some sulfur at the beginning, but this dissapears to leave the sweet aroma. In mouth, fresh clean malt with nice little nutty notes, and decent bitterness. Medium bodied. A good deal at 8.95$.

Bottled. Pale brown with small head. Sweet and clean. Firm, but lacking in flavour, a vague hint of syrup is all I get. Low bitterness.

Brown colour with large ugly bubbles stuck to the side of the glass. No head, as it dissipated in no time at all. Smells of old malt, bad hops and a slight sweetness are all noticeable. Medium-bodied; Decent maltiness in the taste with little else showing through. No swetness noticeable in the taste, just bland. Aftertaste fairly sublte with only a bit of the stale malt coming through. Overall, I wouldn't drink this again, but I am pleased to try it in the first place...thanks to Cartoon_Khaki for giving me a bottle to try!

Rich reddish chestnut hue; some touches of biscuity malt, but aroma is somewhat faint; light on the palate, only hinting at malt and maple. It may be the best-looking macrobrew on earth, but it's still a macrobrew.
