Commercial Description:
Darkly coloured and rich in appearance, this mild ale is brewed in the traditional style of British mild beers that are disappearing even from the pubs of London, England. Grand River Brewing has revived this traditional style of beer that is deep in colour but doesn’t possess the harsh bitterness that many people associate with a darker beer. The pronounced creamy head welcomes you and is followed with a beautiful roasted barley flavour and a smooth creamy taste. This is a beer that just makes you want to have another and with being a mild, go right ahead.

FOr a mild it has quite a big dark malty flavour. A little smokey and nutty with maybe some hints of dark fruit or something of the sort.

Bottle, fresh from the brewery. This is a brown coloured ale with a reddish hue. The head is tan brown, creamy, fast disappearing. Aroma of toasted nuts, grain, molasses, toffee, prunes. Mouthfeel is light. The flavour is fairly smokey with buttery caramel, hazelnut, caramel, apricot, a hint of tobacco.

Bottle thanks to Matt7215. Pours a deep thin brown with medium off-white head. Aroma of roasted malt, caramel, and some dried dark fruits. Flavor matches with the addition of a bit of sweetness. It also has that Grand River character that seems to be in all of their brews. Not sure if it is their water, yeast, or what, but they all have this certain metallic character to it. Not a bad character, but something I could definitely distinguish any of their brews with.

On tap at Bar Volo. Dark mahogany colour, slight head with good lacing. Sweet malty aroma. Nice malty - slightly sweet flavour, with lingering balanced aftertaste.

500 ml, bottled 12/1/08. Clear garnet brown with a smooth beige head. Nose is nougat and sour raisin; earthy and grassy. Subtle yet delightful. Crisp, medium light with tight, sudsy crab. Taste is lemon and lime pith with hints of honey and dried apricots. Finishes clean, dry and nutty. A refreshing change of pace.
