The ain' t your typical overly sweet maple beer! Our Maple Rye offers a spicy flavor in the beginning then a slight whiskey undertone aftertaste. Don't be fooled by its smoothness cause it packs 8.0% in alcohol! A single pint will make you feel it. Brewed with a high % of Rye Malt, this brew is made to enjoy with nice cheeses. The sad side of this one is it can only be brewed during sugar camp season. We're getting ready for next year! Not knowing if it had been done or not, I was curious about brewing a beer entirely with maple sap no tap water, so I did. The result is absolutely FABULOUS something I have never tasted in any beers that I tasted so far, I also added pure maple syrup to the fermentation. Brewed with a high % of Rye Malt, this brew is made to enjoy with a nice cheese. The sad side of this one is it can only be brewed during sugar camp season. I'm getting ready for next year!

Pint at the Arrow & the Loon, with a 9.2% ABV. written. Pours a hazy amber colour with minimal lacing. A very sweet nose of malt with Macintosh apple notes. Again, sweet malt flavours with alcohol and apples. Pretty decent strong ale with sweet notes of apples (not much maple though).

On tap at Arrow and Loon. Pours a thin head and has an amber/coppery appearance with rusty like highlights. Light maple aromas, toasted malts and hints of caramel. Alcohol is readily apparent after the first sip. Flavours are mainly malty, some notes of maple are there for sure. The rye is also fairly noticeable, much more in the finish. Pretty good stuff, but a bit too pricey for my liking. Will have again for sure, if the price is right. Also tried at Arrow and Loon aged 6 months. At 9.2%, alcohol is much more in your face after being aged and the maple sort of takes a back seat.
