Seasonal Sunday: Maple Mistress by Saucony Creek
Saucony Creek's Maple Mistress
The Pour: Pours a honey-brown, rusty amber. 2-finger Ivory white head, slow-fading with light lacing.
The Bouquet: Smells slightly sweet with caramel, brown sugar, and full-bodied spices.
The Sip: Beautiful sweetness, very powerful but not overwhelming Brown sugar and nougat, with a smack of pumpkin pie spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and allspice). There is a warmth to the taste of the Maple Mistress, it tastes like a belgian style with a beautiful mix of bready malts and the kick from the spices. Tastes in between a pumpkin pie tart and pumpkin bread. The maple syrup is present in the sip in its oaky qualities, warm sweetness and mellowness throughout.
Mouth-Feel: Has small light bubbles. Medium body.
Overall: By far and above my favorite pumpkin seasonal. This brew was a pleasure from when it splashed into the glass to the last sip which lingered, cuddling the taste buds. This beer is the perfect post turkey-dinner beer.
Cheers,
