Rock Art Vermont Maple Wheat Ale

Sample at the Vermont Brewers Fest. Finally, after three years, I get to try a little sample of this to rate without paying for a growler! Why did I hesitate so long? Because I knew it wasn’t going to be worth it, and damn if I didn’t act intelligently. Only faintly discernible maple sugar nose...very light body, with a bit of wheaty sourness but almost no maple or anything else. Watery and boring in the extreme.

Interesting idea, and i think it worked. The wheat and maple flavors go well together. Slightly heavier than I'm accustomed to with a wheat ale, and it's a nice change.

I had this on tap. Beautiful golden color, subtle sweet flavor. A really good beer, but not an outstanding one.
