What Our Panel Thought

Aroma: “Pancakes in a cup with a shot bourbon for good measure. Maple is dominant. Nice vanilla notes, light coconut. Citrusy hops and nutty malt notes, too.”

Flavor: “Sort of like an oaked malty IPA—citrusy hops, oak, balanced bourbon, and subtle pecan nuttiness. Well balanced flavors, alcohol very apparent.”

Overall: “Very nice blend on big bold flavors. It’s just like pecan pie but not overly sweet. There’s just a touch of oak harnesses in the finish but overall this is a very tasty beer!”

What the Brewers Say

“Ale brewed with Vermont maple sugar, bourbon-barrel oak chips and pecan. Sugaree offers a big slice of flavors that you wish Grandma had put in her famous Thanksgiving pie. Sit back, relax and enjoy a wonderful bottle of liquid love. You will be transported back to times of holiday joy and family get togethers from the past. This is a special treat from us to you, to help relive some of those special memories or maybe help create some new ones.”
