St. Croix Maple Ale is truly a one-of-a-kind beer that achieves the characteristics of both an ale and a lager, with a hint of maple in a slightly hoppy finish. It’s brewed in a classic American West style from the 1800s that employs cold-fermenting lager yeast at warmer ale-fermenting temperatures. After fermentation, the beer is aged cold for several weeks. This hybrid process gives the beer the fruity, estery flavors of an ale and the smoothness of a lager.

Not bad at all. Looks great, very dark orange, with a white lace on the glass. Aromas of hops and some maple. Surprisingly complex. Hops, malt, light maple, and a lager taste. Thin, with a strange, oily aftertaste.
