From the label

“Label explicitly states 'MAPLE LAGER' below the main 'SUGAR BUSH' product name. The beer is brewed and canned by Upper Hand Brewery in Escanaba, MI (no geography conflict or FOR clause indicating contract production). ABV 5.2% is consistent with a flavored lager. TTB class 906 (Malt Beverage Specialties - Flavored) confirms the maple/sugar adjunct positioning. The Brewers Association Certified Independent Craft seal (inverted bottle) is present on the label.”
