A delicate amount of Maple syrup is added to each barrel of our award winning Maple Nut Brown Ale to impart roasted sweetness. This addition balances the nut flavor produced by Munich caramel and chocolate malts used in the brewhouse, producing a drinkable dark amber ale with a relatively low alcohol content.

Bottle. Pretty good beer. I thought it might be too sweet or thick. It’s not. It does have a slight maple taste and smell. Just a touch too bitter, believe it or not. One would expect maple to be sweet. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this beer.

A nice brown-red colour, a head is almost medium and beige. Aroma has caramle, dried fruitness, some breadyness. Taste has dried fruitness of prune, caramel or maple syrup. Medium bodied. Pretty nice, quite strong flavours even the alc.% is low.

A single I bought, best before November 25th 2019. A forewarning, I am not a fan of their beers from past experiences.

The look is nice. Brown liquid sitting under a head of slightly off white foam. Lacing is above average.

The smell is maple sweet, roasty, definite nutty notes going on.

Maple sweet taste, little nuttiness flavour, leans towards the bland taste wise, body gets thin to watery in the finish. Looks and smells promising but fails to deliver when it really counts. Something that I have said before aboot this brewery's beers so I am not that surprised. One and done.

Draft pour pint enjoyed at Aviators, Denver Airport. A clean maple syrup brown color pour, off white loose foam head. Hints of chocolate sit underneath a nutty malt and big maple constant. So basically they nailed what they were going for here. A bit of bread on the lingering malt bill as well. This is light and refreshing for the style, but doesn't lack flavor. Pretty good stuff here.
