maeib (3959), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England May 11, 2008 Bottled. An amber coloured beer with a short lived off-white head. An earthy English best bitter with some sweet syrupy notes in the aroma. Don’t get Cascade or maple in the taste. Instead some nettly hop. Not bad, especially for a pasteurized bottle from a regional.
HogcliffeLenny (144), Christchurch, Dorset, England Aug 19, 2008 Bottle 500ml. from Waitrose, Christchurch. Pours amber with off white head. Aroma has malty overtone. However, when it comes to taste, maple syrup is very prominent. A bit too sweet and syrupy for me. More of a novelty beer than a session beer. Geth_in_beer (670), Nova Scotia, Canada Aug 9, 2008 Bottle. Caramel and malt in the aroma. Amber appearance. Bitter sweet flavour. Maple, malt. Smooth and bitter all in one. Weird. Beth101 (108), West Yorkshire, England Aug 4, 2008 Caramel in colour, very very thin head . Sweet smell with a hint of coffee. Sweet smooth and a taste of maple syrup. bobinlondon (220), Harrow, Greater London, England Jun 28, 2008 Bottle from Morrisons. Pours amber with off-white head. Could taste maple along with plenty of malt and hops. Nice for a pasteurised beer. johninmelb (636), Bristol, Gloucestershire, England Jun 6, 2008 Slightly metallic nose. Pours rich amber with a firm, tan head. Flavour is refreshing, with a reasonable hoppy bitterness/malty sweetness balance. Don’t get any maple at all. More metallic note in the finish unfortunately, but ok over all.
