Green Mill Honey Brown

Formerly brewed at Green Mill Restaurant & Bar
Style: American Dark Lager
St. Paul, Minnesota USA

Aroma: watered down musty chocolate. & caramel. Taste: same. Mouthfeel was fuller and smoother than I expected though.

Draft @ Brewpub: Copper color, light head and nice lacing. Nose of light diacetyl and honey, fairly boring nose. Decent caramel notes but vegetal and no noticeable hops. Sweet flavor, a below average whatever this is.

On tap at the St Paul brewpub (sampler). Clear, light brown colour. Light caramel aroma with a touch of diacetyl early. Caramel, and not much else, in the flavour. Light bodied, with a clean mouthfeel. Not much depth here. Couldn’t taste any honey. Number 4 of the sampler and another drinkable but bland beer.

Clear dark amber body with beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, some caramel, lager yeast. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, light lager yeast/lemon, butter. Watery light-medium body.

From tap. Pours orange to brown. Aroma is very caramellic with whiff of honey. Flavour is slight nutty, caramel and only vaguely honey. Honey does however provides some softness to the palate. Finish is soft malty, nutty.

Tap @ brewpub in October 2005. Brown reddish color. A mild hay and malty flavor with a touch of caramel and sweetness. Smooth with a chalky dry finish.

Brown Coloring with White Ring. Light Grain Aroma. Bad Malt Taste...Stale and Sweet is What Comes Across.

Moderate brown/amber color. Malt-driven with a plain caramel aroma, and a flavor that reminds me most distinctly of the home-apples my dad made when I was growing up. Sweet edge, of course. Not to my liking. (on tap at brewpub)
