With Canada celebrating its 150th anniversary this summer, many brands are releasing products -- like the new Angus Burgers by Compliments -- to join in on the party.

Formed in the shape of a [maple leaf](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/look-for-the-leaf), these burgers are a fun way to celebrate Canada's big birthday. According to Compliments, "these burgers are tender, juicy and made with [100% Angus beef](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/angus-beef-burgers)." With lots of corners on this burger patty, every bite will be crispy and juicy.

Being able to celebrate Canada's 150 in a fun, low maintenance way is important to a lot of Canadians. As a well-known, trusted Canadian company, Compliments and its burgers are a great way to inject a little bit of fun on your next [burger night](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grill-kits).
