Had on-tap at a new destination for me, The Bench in Stowe, VT. New brewery for me too.
A - It was poured into a big ol snifter of sorts. Light amberish brown color with a beige ring. Pretty much retains as such for the duration.
S - Er, more or less, nothing. Very slight brown ale qualities such as caramel and toasty malts. Certainly no maple unless I close my eyes and pretend really hard.
T - Wow...just impressively flavorless. The light caramelly toasty brown malts, the bare basics to recognize it as a brown ale, or a beer at that. Water and lots of it.
M - Uber-light with decent carbonation. Really lacks flavor, honestly not much redeeming qualities whatsoever.
O - Oh it's sessionable alright, but really watered down feeling, kind of shockingly lacking in flavor, particularly for a brown ale that apparently has maple for an ingredient. I'm being generous on the smell and taste scores - I don't particularly enjoy or feel good adding a beer to the database just to bash it like this, especially when it's a nearby-ish brewery I've heard good things about, so my apologies 14th Star.
