Here's a new one from Summit, set to be included in the upcoming fall sampler pack. Or on tap, perhaps. And I got this little ol' can to review, so here we go.
In the nose: sweet, cocoa and caramel. Balancing bitterness.
In the mouth: Plenty of malt going on here, and, yeah, I detect a touch of smoke. Mostly caramel malt, hints of chocolate, and sure, a touch of maple syrup. Starting out a little sweet on the palate, but all in all, a dry finish. This is awfully nice and drinkable and I can picture having a few in a row and not get bored or nothing.
A Nut Brown Ale featuring rich, roasted flavors and aromas, Summit Cranky Woodsman is brewed with an incredible, complex malt bill including smoked oat malt and puffed wild rice, plus a light dash of maple syrup. Lacey barley from Alexandria, MN provides the foundation for a rich mahogany-colored beer with notes of toast, graham cracker and smoke, while Cascade hops from Mighty Axe Farms offer a hint of spice and citrus to complement a slight maple sweetness. Available on draft and inside the Summit Bonfire Box for a limited time only.

Fine I am bored with the current spectrum of beers. I do not care for the ol' standard bearer, NewCastle, but if it is clean in the corners and refreshing, why not give the nut a try?
