On tap at Vermont Pub on 05/17/2024.
Appearance: dark amber color with a quarter finger of white foamy head which settled off fairly nice but barely left any lace
Aroma: maple syrup, caramel, chocolate and doughy malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet quality; finishes malty and maple-y
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; good smoothness; low-ish carb level
Overall: not a bad maple amber ale, I think I could return to this.

On tap at the brewery.
Appearance: burnt orange/copper color with a quarter finger's white foamy head which settled nicely and didn't leave any lace
Aroma: caramel malts, subtle nuts, clean bready tones, sweet grains
Flavor: blends all those prior noted aromas to a nice sweet vibe; finishes bready and malty
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, good smoothness, kiss of dryness
Overall: good Maibock as far as I know. I'd come back to this.
