Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, USA
8.2% abv
12oz bottle
Amber ale brewed with maple syrup & honey
I remember having this ale a few years ago in a bar in the
town of Elkton, Michigan. I remember that sweet amber ale taste.
Appearance: bronzy amber body, heavy mist for clarity with
maybe a one finger off-white head that leaves some spotty lacing
Aroma: a sweet grainy amber ale like aroma
Flavors: grains; toasted caramel malts; the maple syrup and
honey are adding to the sweetness but, I can’t say, ‘hey that’s maple syrup’ or
‘hey that’s honey;’ the hops add a prickly bite to the herbal like bitter note;
dry musty white pepper likeness coming from the alcohol on the back
Mouthfeel: prickly wool like; fine moderate carbonation;
sweet on the mid; dry bitterness on the back and finish; an earthy herbal
bitterness lingers; dry; full-medium; the syrup & honey must be adding some
weight to the tongue;
To the Point: Train Wreck – sweetness on the front collides
with the bitterness on the back; trying to have balance but, they are not
melding together; I like this ale – I would buy it again; I have to say I like
it better on tap than in the bottle; this ale is very good with a sandwich
