Canada Gold: Sugar Maple

Canada Gold: Sugar Maple is a Helles conditioned of toasted Sugar Maple spirals. This crisp Lager has bold biscuity undertones and the floral aroma of its counterpart but with an enhanced dryness and a tannic oak-like finish. After fermentation, this Helles was knocked onto toasted Sugar Maple spirals before being transferred back into our horizontal stainless for extended conditioning.

Canada Gold Sugar Maple. After fermentation, this beer was transferred onto fresh Sugar Maple spirals before being transferred back into our horizontal stainless for extended conditioning. Not to be fooled by its name, this is far from a sweet Lager; in fact, we are able to highlight the tannic and spicy quality usually overlooked in this unique wood. This crisp Lager has bold biscuity undertones and the floral aroma of its counterpart but with an enhanced dryness and a bitter finish reminiscent of North American Oak. The most striking metamorphosis is a robust, almost Rye-like characteristic upon the first sip and tailing the faint incense of chestnut and fresh-cut Maple wood behind it. Canada Gold: Sugar Maple is a truly crushable Lager that explores the terroir and history of its namesake.

Canada Gold: Sugar Maple is a Helles modeled after the nonpareil Lagers we first fell in love with and is crafted with reverence in concept and material. This Lager utilizes 100% Canadian malts as well as Sasquatch Hops.
