Rich and complex, Maple Coronet starts with a foundation of the finest English Maris Otter malt which brings a nutty richness and roundness to the beer. Three different types of caramel malts exhibit toffee and a range of fruit (cherry, plums and raisins) while a dash of chocolate malt rounds out the malt bill. Maple syrup was added during the run-off of the wort as well as during fermentation to provide extra sugars. The maple sweetness is not overpowering and integrates into the beer without being cloyingly sweet.

The maple ingredient came from our friends at Glenna Farms. Glenna Farms was established in 1995 when Rick and Kristine Glenna purchased an 80-acre maple syrup operation from Arthur V. Olson. The century old sugar bush is located next to a dairy farm, which was purchased from Mr. Olson by Rick’s parents, was well known for producing one of nature’s finest sweeteners, pure maple syrup.
