Commercial Description:
One hundred maple trees were tapped in Meadville, PA at Dave’s Sugar Shack for the maple syrup in this sparkling, clean ale.

Enjoyed via draft at the brewpub. Despite the advertisement of maple syrup being used in the brewing process, little was actually evident in the aroma or flavor of the finished beer; probably due to the fact that maple syrup is almost entirely fermentable. I was disappointed in most aspects of this beer. It was clean, but bland in scent and flavor. I realize that the brewpub is aiming for a wide variety of customers, but I don’t see that as a reason to dumb down styles to the point in which they have little to no flavor and complexity. Try the Paleo IPA instead.

Sampled on draft at the brewery this beer poured a dark copper color with a white head. The aroma was lightly fruity and nutty. The flavor was caramel, maple and light fruity hop with nutty malts underneath. The finish was medium length with notes fruit and caramel. Interesting.

This ale is not for the faint of heart. If you like sweetness, but not in beer, ah maybe try something else; otherwise you maybe in for a wonderful surprise. The ale has a nice taste however you may want to limit your intake to maybe one or two pints at the max because the sweetness of this ale is a little out of control. It is worth buying a pint of it for something different.

Draft. Body is brownish-amber wih an aroma that promises sweetness and a touch of hops. Flavor is another mater all together. The sweetness is WAY out of control and almost nauseating. Pretty awful stuff!

A very nice clear beer that has a color slightly darker than the ubiquitous pale yellow american lager. It is a little more brown. About the same color as a yuengling lager. Aroma is slightly hoppy. Flavor is an impact of hops and sweetness. The maple syrup is readily apparent as if it was added after the brew. However, this does not distract from the enjoyability of this brew. Only slight carbonation. The fizziness is medium low but appreciated and present. Finish is barely oppressive, some good personality. A little back of throat bitterness hangs but it is relatively mild.
