Notes

Campfire Maple Cream Ale: A Taste of Autumn's Embrace

This Campfire Maple Cream Ale is a golden-hued brew designed for cozy evenings and crisp autumn air. It pours with a soft, creamy head, releasing inviting aromas of toasted marshmallow and sweet maple, underscored by a subtle, earthy vanilla.

Brewed on a clean, light base with flaked maize for a signature smooth body, this ale gets its distinctive character from a careful blend of additions. A hint of fenugreek works in harmony with the real maple syrup, contributing a rich, authentic maple depth that isn't cloyingly sweet. Delicate notes of vanilla bean round out the profile, adding a creamy complexity that elevates the maple and provides a comforting, lingering finish.

At 4.75% ABV, it's a wonderfully sessionable and balanced beer – rich in flavor yet incredibly smooth, making it the perfect companion for a crackling fire or good conversation. Each sip evokes the warmth and sweetness of a late fall evening, a true taste of home-harvested goodness.

4 of 5

The beer is crystal clear, lovely golden colour, smooth, and the maple is apparent retronasally when drinking it, but only slightly on the nose, and only after warming up a bit. The head retention is also poor, but hopefully will be fixed with some carafoam in the second batch. Overall great beer, would probably increase the fenugreek addition a bit to try and coax more maple aroma out of it.
