Grandkid’s syrup, Grandad’s syrup.
When I make flapjacks I use Pearl Milling Co syrup * for the grandkids and save the maple syrup for me. Does that make me a bad Grandad? I already won the coveted best dad in the world award, so what do I care? But when it comes to most maple syrup beers the grand kids can have them. Once again, I ask, does that make me a bad Grandad?
We have visited the hills of Caledon a few times, and each visit has rendered a super suds verdict. But it’s a long row to hoe to score super suds with a maple brown, and at 5% and $75 for a 24, this brew is neither strong nor free. Time to see if CH can extend their super suds streak with this maple bender.
As its name would suggest a dirt brown pour, with a bit of a sugar white head. It sure smells like maple syrup, are we tapping a keg or a tree here? First taste is malt maple sweet with a touch of back end hops for a country twang. One sweet brown going down. The nutty maple sweet stays the course, but that slightly hoppy twang is history. Interesting, the maple syrup was front and center but under control the whole time. Not subtle maple, but not overwhelming, overbearing or over doing it. I was concerned about a potential maple mishap but CH got this one right, no maple misgivings here, just one tasty beer.
