Upper Canada Maple Brown Ale

Brewed by Sleeman Brewing & Malting Co. (Sapporo)
Style: Brown Ale
Guelph, Canada

Dark nut brown. Softly malty with balanced sweetness.

This has more malt than anything else, and only a touch of maple sweetness.

reddish in colour, fine head, slightly fruity aroma, quite flat - where did they put the maple syrup ?

Bottle (341ml). At Smokeless Joe. Brown Ale - that’s HI-larious - it’s pretty pale lager-y. Poured a clear bubbly refractive amber with a minimal head. Aroma? Frankly, I didn’t really get any, no matter how hard I tried - I could smell the brine from the oysters halfway down the bar - okay, faint grain and some sugary malt. Flavour of stale light roast malt, a hint of maple flavouring, stale hops leading to a surprisingly bitter finsh, but not really in a good way. Mouthfeel lightly fizzy, watery and thinly syrupy. Overall, not much of anything - no adjuncts, but boring and not very much maple - and not very BROWN either.

Decent Canadaian ’Brown Ale’ . Correct for that type aroma but not as developed as it could be . Pleasant to drink , goes well with piza :)

Re-Rate March 2005 Orange amber body, small white head disappears as if frightened. Aroma has some initial metallic notes. , followed by muted sweet malt and some slight hints of brown sugar/maple. Flavour is sweet with more alcohol in the finish than I would expect in a 5% abv beer. Average palate Not much to it really. 5/2/5/3/11<P>Original Rating Was hoping for a sweeter more mapley flavour. Did not like this so much. FYI - not a good choice for making beer ice cream floats with either :) 4/3/4/3/9

A tad sweet but pleasurable when sharing small quantities (read: 12-pack between friends).

Quite a sweet smell with hops. Deep amber, big head. The roasted malts are great, good bitterness. Smooth, well balanced, nice carbonation. A fine beer.
