The Maple Spiced Pecan Old Ale is the newest seasonal, small-batch beer from Waterloo Brewing and it is described as "a frontrunner for the Most Canadian Beer Ever." The flavorful brew is said to have a pumpkin aroma and flavor notes that remind of a classic Canadian butter tart.
The maple-flavored brew was created for craft beer drinkers who will be looking for beers to satisfy their desires for adventurous brews. As Kim Mannerow, Director of Marketing at Waterloo Brewing, says: "As temperatures edge toward the cooler side, there's this tendency for all of us to indulge in food and drink that just plain makes us happy. We saw this unique time of year as a perfect opportunity to come up with a new recipe that gave a shout-out to our Canadian heritage in a way no one had really done before."
