Sweet aromas of caramel malts, mild spice & maple syrup. Taste is malty, some maple sweetness but not finding any of the wheat qualities. Some burnt caramel taste. Not bad but nice interesting attempt Abeersnob (16), Pittsfield, Massachusetts, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 8, 2009 (bottle - 22 oz) Clear amber color with a thick white head. Aroma is light and sweet with a little spice and a very light touch of maple to it. Flavor is malty and bready with a very light hint of bitter hops. The maple is almost non-existent, as is the wheat until the end. The wheat comes through at the finish and leaves that dry, grainy taste. Slightly disappointed in the lack of maple however. watson1977 (279), , Pennsylvania, USA

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Mar 3, 2009 Tap at GingerMan: Pours a clear orange with a dense off-white head. Sweet aroma- no wheaty tartness- just lots of honey, light grains and tons of diacetyl. Very light fluffy palate. The flavor also has apparent diacetyl- astringent herbal notes are there mingling with the honeyish sweetness- cheap grain and peppery metallic hops follow into the back. Too buttery, pretty bad.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Mar 1, 2009 Bottle from Binny’s South Loop. Pours a orangey brown. Nose has some light woody/maple notes, mostly grain and wheat. Taste is pretty subdued, quite dry and finishes with a mellow maple note as well. Pretty easy drinking. Okay.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 1, 2009 Tap at the brewery. Pours a clear woody light copper with a medium lasting head. Aroma is slightly sweet with maple hints, caramel malts and doughy almost crackery wheat malts. Flavor is a bi tthin but has a slight sugary honey and maple sweetness, and a hint of toffee, earth and herbal hops. Tangy and dry finish.
