Church-Key Cranberry Maple Wheat

Well, I love cranberry, and I love maple. So, this will quickly become my favourite beer! Wrong! The beer pours a clear pale gold with a thin bubbly white head. The aroma is mainly malt, with some hoppy tones. The flavour is similar with no cranberry sourness and no maple sweetness to balance what little bitterness there is.

On Tap at the Castle Tapped a pale gold with a light hazed shimmer to it...1 finger white cap does not last too long but does lace the glass well. Pungent aromas of cranberry but not synthetic or perfumery, undertones of sweetness and some grass. Front side makes an impression like a wheat biscuit with cranberry sauce on it then mid palate the maple shows ...good hop character accents the tart cranberry...finish is incredible...dry and tart from the wheat and cranberry working together some maple tones...almost puckering dryness. A summer deck beer...not a girly drink but I'm sure it will appeal to the ladies...well put together...flavors blend in proportion and give a decent amalgamation....good solid summer beer effort from a great micro.

On first taste - no cranberry, no maple, hell, no wheat! A bad first impression, I feel slightly dissapointed I have to admit!
A subtle cranberry aroma to accompany a light coloured (standard looking) body. An impressive white fluffy head over the excited tiny bubbles that would not subside. A great effort, but something is lost in the flavour, not much taste comes through unfortunately. I really can't get a tate for it at all!
This beer would however make a great alternative for those who want a fruit beer without the sweetness or excessive fruit flavouring that many brews tend to over compensate on. All in all, a very passive beer that didn't have much character at all. I'm sorry to say I couldn't take much out of this at all.

Bottle: Poured a light yellow color ale with a huge bubbly head with average retention. Aroma of cranberry bubblegum? mix with some strong wheat malt. Taste is very refreshing with lots of tart cranberry, strong wheat malt and some well balance sweetness from the maple. Nice mix between a wheat beer and a fruit beer. I’m starting to really like brewery.
