Catamount Maple Wheat is a full-bodied, smooth wheat ale made with genuine Vermont maple syrup. The original version of this beer was brewed in the winter of 2009 by Harpoon Vermont sales representative John Baker.

Harpoon brewer Brett Simmons based his 2012 version on John’s recipe, with some tweaks to make it his own. It is brewed with a combination of wheat malt, pale malt, caramel malt, and mildly hopped with Willamette. The balance of malts and hops allows the distinct flavor and aroma of real Vermont maple syrup to take the lead.

The pure Vermont maple syrup used in the beer came from Baker Farm in East Dummerston—the family farm of John Baker—and Scrag Mountain Sugar House in Waitsfield. The maple sweetness and body that blankets this velvety amber beer showcases one of New England’s most beloved traditions.

Poured from a 2012 vintage 22 oz bottle into the test glass.
A - Copper backdrop, excellent clarity, steady carbonation feeds a tight knit cap of off white froth.
S - Maple, autumn wheat, notes of earthy spice, cardamon, clove. Light brown sugar.
T - Follows the nose well, maple is the thread, wrapped in that thread items include. Wheat toast and some apricot.
M - Medium in body, a bit sweet/slickness, not to bad. Carbonation moves things along. Lingering are thoughts of maple candy.
O - Glad to revisit this last bottle, the maple component is solid, the time in the basement has rounded out the offering quite nicely.
