Maple Moon is brewed using amber malts, Cascade Aroma hops and a teasing hint of maple syrup. A very refreshing beer bursting with an underlying depth of maltiness. Subtle tastes of toffee and caramel give Maple Moon its unique sweetness.

Cask @ Park Hotel, Monton. Golden with a small head. Gritty on its nose, with a malt-hop infused stewed fruitiness. The latter is evident in its taste too.

Bottle. Appearance - deep amber with a red hue. A decent head. Nose - maple, as well as usual toffee. Taste - more toffee, light nuttiness, maple I suppose. Palate - close to medium bodied with a rich creamy middle section and a finish which could be a little cleaner, to be honest. Overall - a decent ESB but I’d like more clean biscuit notes on the finish.

(Bottle) Clear coppery amber with almost no head. Pleasant but subtle light toffee aroma. Medium body with good carbonation. Nice taste - rich and sweet with toffee malt flavours and distinct maple notes with some slight tangy and bitter balance. Good beer with maple present but not overwhelming. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Hand-pulled pint in my local Wetherspoons on 9th Oct 2013. Clean amber hue to the body, a full white crown on top, lacing clung to the glass as the beer level fell. Malty nose and taste, with enough hop content to stop it becoming a sweet tasting brew rather than a malty tasting one. Didn’t pick up an ’maple’ taste or smell, caramel maybe, semi-sweet malty molasses, yes. Good body depth, even though it is weaker than the bottled version: easy to drink and my sort of brew.
