Who I Follow
Sugar Moon Maple - Garrison Brewing, 6.3% ABV, (Halifax, NS) On the side label: “A true Canadian ale brewed with Nova Scotian maple syrup. Dark, smooth and tasty, best enjoyed under a cold sugar moon!” My Notes: My Rating: D+ Why I kinda like it: N/A Where I got it: W.16th (?) How much: <$7 for a 500ml, Spring 2011 Do I love this enough to drink it again: No Would I recommend this to beer afficianados: No Tasting Notes: pours almost clear light maple syrup brown, small head, thick and sticky lacing, several CO2 streams. Strong maple syrup on the nose. Smokey malty start with 7/10 sweetness with flavours of maple and brown sugar in the mids and a mild bitter finish. Astringent sourness at the start which I DON’T LIKE. Med-light bodied, with most of the intensity coming from the maple flavours. This is the 2nd tasting and this time I notice the off-putting sourness that persists to the finish. Don’t recommend. The Fernie Sap Sucker Maple Porter is much better.
