Commercial Description:
This full, smooth wheat ale is warming and delicious. It’s mildly hopped to let the distinct flavor and aroma of real VT maple syrup take the lead. The maple sweetness and body that blankets this velvety amber beer showcases one of New Englands most beloved traditions. Brewed with wheat malt, pale malt and caramel malt. The pure maple syrup used in this beer came from two syrup makers in the Green Mountain State. The Baker Family in East Dummerston has been boiling maple sugar since the 1950s. Dave Gavett also provided syrup from his Scrag Mountain Sugar House in Waitsfield. John’s recipe, along with top quality syrup from these two Vermont maple sugar operations, resulted in a crisp wheat ale that is warming and delicious. It is mildly hopped to profile the distinct aroma and flavor of real Vermont Maple Syrup. Hopped with Willamette. Brewed by John Baker

Pours a three finger cream head that fades quickly to a ring leaving some lace. Crystal clear amber color. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied. Hint of a maple nose. Flavor leans to sweet, must be the maple, otherwise not much flavor. Not what I was expecting in a wheat. Overpriced at $5.19 for a 22oz bottle from Beverage Warehouse Winooski, VT.

Bomber. Session 26. Deep copper pour with chaotic off-white head. Nose is malt and hopcitrus, with a caramel malty flavor backup by hops, brown sugar, and mild maple flavors. Medium, not terribly complex palate. Enjoyable.

Large bottle. Did not find this one to be very impressive. Unable to detect much of a maple flavor though it did seem somewhat sweet with more of a honey taste. I expected this to be much better than it was. Found the flavor to be somewhat bland.

Bottle. Pours golden orange with an off white head. Honey sweet aroma with some maple and a hint of hops. The flavor also has a honey/caramel sweetness and a bit of hops to balance. Maple flavor is light at best. Decent nonetheless.

Pours orange brown. Aroma has some light maple notes, mostly grain and wheat. Taste is pretty subdued, quite dry and finishes with a mellow maple note as well. Pretty easy drinking. I was a little disapointed. Maybe I would have enjoyed it alittle more on a hot summer day.

transparent amber pour with fluffy off white head and minimal lace. Maple syrup and grains on the nose. Flavor is bitter almost astringent, with the maple flavor barely making itself known. Mostly caramel malts
