Wow, this is like drinking maple syrup with some nice caramel malts. Its like a maple syrup loaf of bread. The sweetness is well balanced, and this is not overly sweet at all. Very nice.

Bottle: Poured a medium copper color ale with a small foamy head with minimal retention and not much lacing. Aroma of maple is more dominant then I had expected and more enticing then I would have hoped for. Taste is dominated by the maple with some very small amount of residual sweetness which is surprising when you think of the amount of sugar in maple syrup. Very surprising and at least tasting of maple instead of so many other maple beer tasting nothing like maple – but then again I am still wondering if maple should be mixed with beer.

New brewer, doing contract at Alley Kat right now. New brewers in Alberta are a good thing. I’d just hope that future efforts are braver than this light, sweet, caramelly brew. It’s got a really simple character, as befits the type, but not as befits my palate.
