Heritage Maple Bush Lager

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 7

Bottle: Poured a clear copper color lager with a medium foamy head with average retention and no lacing. Aroma of light maple taste with some good caramel malt notes. Taste is a mix between some light fruity ester, some light maple syrup and some caramel malt notes. Body is average for the style with some average carbonation. Not too bad for the style but turn bad when gets too hot, this one must be drank cold.

Late to review this one...copped a bottle at the new Waterloo SQ LCBO....God knows how old it is and what room temp storage does to this beer....I’m thinking it dropped out the malt proteins and the hop alphas because this was really one dimensional. Weak heading...sweet graininess in the aroma is wiped out by the over powering smoky-burnt maple tones. Light body weak mouth feel..big whack of sweet maple taste and little else...no off tastes. Not a good beer... seems poorly put together and it certainly has no balance...I’m going to be kind and assume my sample was stale/ruined.

This spring maple lager pours a rich golden-amber colour with a yellow-white head that disappears at a medium pace. Mild lacing all around with tiny light bubble carbonation that is steady. Sweet maple nose with a pleasant purfume of hop. Watery mouhfeel that is slightly syrupy. Beautiful sweet touch of sap that is not overly sugary. The sweetness then disappears slowly into the aftertaste. Some smokiness, but would prefer it more dominant. Overall, a nice treat for springtime and a good representation of a Canadian resource.
