Peak Organic Maple Oat Ale

I love Peak Organic. Before last week, I had tried both their Pale and Amber ales. Both outstanding! Unfortunately, the third time wasn’t a charm. At Whole Foods last week, I picked up a pint of the Maple Oat Ale. While it is certainly a fine beer, it doesn’t live up to its better known siblings. Sure, the hint of maple syrup in the finish is novel. But the flavor up front is a little lacking. No zing. No zam. The body is good, not great. About the only thing spectacular is the color. The reddish, brownish hue is deep and complex. Too bad, the brew itself is not.
