Appearance: Dispensed a hazed amber-hued body with a scant, faintly beige-hued head. Smell: Delivers some namesake mildness in the form of mild notes of breadiness and fruitiness. Taste: Toastiness, in the form of toasted bready maltiness, toasty caramelized sugar, and some oven-toasted apricot crostinis. Earthy herbs, mildly spicy, and with a small touch of hop bitterness. Drying finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium-light carbonation. Overall: A reasonably tasty, low alcohol offering, though, when it comes to locally brewed milds, I’ll always prefer the AK-47 Mild Ale once available at the 5 Seasons North location.

Light brown color. Aroma contains toffee, caramel, nutmeg. Flavor is malty with more caramel and toffee. Some bitterness in the finish. Overall a good session ale.

Pours a nice semi-transparent golden-hinted mahogany with a decent pale tan head. Malty aroma has hints of caramel and cloves. Mouth-filling malty, woody flavor has a bit of caramel and a touch of cloves in it. Texture is edgy and fizzy, leaving behind a nice tingle.
