Mill Street Belgian Wit

Brewed by Mill St. Brewery
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Toronto, Canada

Certainly distinctive. You can really taste the orange/coriander combination. Nothing to write home about but nice if you have a selection of the Mill Street beers and have one of these...

Bottle, via trade with garthicus, cloudy golden pour with egg white foam, aroma of wheat clove, flavor is a little light but has some lemon and chalkiness, light finish

(bottle) clear yellow colour; aroma of malts with hint of citrus; clean, acidic light flavour; nothing repulsive but not much overall - simple, one dimensional

Smells of light pale malts and yeast. Looks like large scale production lager. Tastes like large scale production lager. I mean wit. Wait, they don’t produce wit on the large scale in north america, is this bottle mislabelled? cuz what I’m drinking sure as hedoublehockeystix isn’t a belgian beer in ANY way. It’s dull and boring and I feel like I should be drinking it at a local fight arean/hockey game providing a poor example for our youths. It’s like a lager made with a differnet yeast. Its ok to drink, but its not what you expect to get when you read the bottle. Based on this, I’d say it’s crap except that it is smooth enough of flavour and palate to drink. Still, it is misleading.

341 ml bottle from Seasonal Sampler. Pours a hazy straw gold with tiny white cap. Big banana, coriander and slight citrus nose. Taste is very citrusy with relatively muted banana, coriander and apple/pear. Slightly dry finish. Pretty solid.

[on tap at The Manx in Ottawa] Buttery, almost artificial orange aroma, but not uninviting. Slightly hazy yellow under a thick white ring. Sour wheat flavour with some nice butter and no bitterness, though a nice dry finish. Light body, moderate carbonation, slightly tangy finish. Solid witbier.

Clear, straw yellow colour, aroma is orange and yeast. Taste is citrus, malt and yeast. Pretty good Belgian white considering it’s from Ontario. Very good effort!

On tap at the brewery, slight cloudy gold hue, with a small ring of white head, yeasty, fruity, bananaish, ripe apple, pear, lemon esters, with some wheaty, pale malt, spicy accents, of mainly coriander, curaçao, with a faint lactic zesty lemony note in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, citrusy, orange peel, honeyed wheaten, pale malt character, with a good bananaish, ripe apple, spicy cinnamon-like, coriander flavors, with a hint of lemongrass, leading towards a wheaty, zesty, spicy, fruity bananaish finish.
