Commercial Description:
A bronze-coloured ale that is brewed using traditional tettnang hops. We've taken a bold steep forward with this one and added a hint of pure Canadian maple syrup for a creamy taste that is smooth, not sweet.

This wasn’t bad, but then again it was not really great either. Has some maple, nutty pecans in the nose. The flavor is quite thin and one dimensional, with sweet toffee and a creamy mouthfeel.

Bottle thanks to father brought this from vancover. Aroma is sweet brown malts, maple notes. Taste is similarly sweet thin and very boring, near no hop character. Again reminisant of an enligh bastardised nitro can bitter.

355ml can c\- my bro’s trip abroard. Pours a fair brown colour, with a faint head that vanishes abruptly. Toffee caramel cream aromas with the same on first taste. Tangy carbonation, creamy and a soft smooth finish. Probably from the can doesn’t enhance it’s cause.
