Pours a clear light amber color with a light caramel color head on top. Super strong smell of maple syrup. Roasted maple taste with a grainy aftertaste.

Pours a ruby hued amber with a finger of off white foam. Nose is maple syrup, biscuit, earth and a herbal hop note. Taste follows suit. Excellent maple flavor without being cloying. Feel is silky smooth with good carb finish.

Brewed with 100% U.P. maple syrup sourced from a century-old, family-owned farm, Sugarbush is our subtly sweet, perfect-for-winter red lager. Pours a copper color with a minimal head that disappears quickly. Aroma is maple and roasted malts. Taste is dry. Slightly sweet and no hoppy bitterness.
