Granville Island Kitsilano Maple Cream Ale

Brewed by Granville Island (Brewery)
Style: Amber Ale
Kelowna, Canada

Bottle - pours a golden/amber. Flavour of nuts and hops, with a hint of maple syrup. Drinkable amber ale.

From the bottle. Smells all right and was always a good sipping beer at festivals and parties. Nice taste of nuts and hops in the body, not an expensive brew either, which made it good for everyday evening drinking.

A bronze-coloured ale that has a mild hop. The hint of pure Canadian maple syrup is interesting, but not what I enjoy. Adds to the creamy taste. Very smooth, but the sweet aftertaste lingers a little too long, but it is a cream ale.

Unique , not a session beer. The maple is faint but you can’t miss it , other then that the body is light mostly like a lager, a beer answer to desert wine

Can. Clear, amber color. Hops and some odd malt in the aroma. Some syrup in the flavor. Hint of maple blending in with the malt. Pretty decent beer for a can. Medium bodied. Nice finish.

A so-so start, with a sub one-fingered tan head, quickly gone away to nothing, and an attractive clear and dark amber. Aroma was initially quite unbeer-like, but gradually both some malt and a bit of the maple syrup emerged. The taste also was the hint of maple, but really nothing else seemed at play here. Mouthfeel was "adequate", but the aftertaste was curious; again, not so much like beer. A bit of promise at the "get acquainted" stage but ultimately disappointing.

Bottle, 341ml - Clear amber colored beer with a small head. Aroma is sweet with hints of sourish maple syrup and caramel. Flavor is malty sour with grassy notes and with hints of butter. Maple syrup stands out, but otherwise there’s nothing special.
