COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bitters have been the common drink in English pubs for decades. Mill St ESB uses only traditional ingredients, Marris Otter malt and Fuggles and East Kent Goldings hops, all imported from England. With light malt and hops in the nose, this copper coloured ale gives rise to a malty body with hints of chocolate and black currents. The hoppiness is always present but never out of balance in this style.

On tap at the Grad Club. Ruby brown, with a decent head. Simple but effective hops and caramel malt in the aroma. Bread, malt, and a slight grassy hop touch, with caramel and chocolate undertones. Smooth finish, though a little sticky and could use some bitterness. Quality brew.

pootzboy (1284) - Hawgville, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 14, 2009
On tap from the MS pub: Tapped a clear amber-orange with a decent cap. Aromas: Caramel-bread-grassyness. Flavor profile: Pretty much a replica of the way it smells...a nice bready-caramel chew of malt blalanced well with a grassy-herbal hop profile...light bitter finish...not the intense bittering of a Brit ESB but very approachable and sessionable.

LadySusan (601) - Ste-Therese, Quebec, CANADA - FEB 25, 2009
On tap at the brewpub. The color is amber with a thin beige head. The taste is of hops with some sweetness of fruits. Some malt but not to much. It has a nice bitter finish.

Mill St Brewpub on tap - Nice amberish red colour, Bready malts with a beautiful earthy hop aroma and flavour. Love this beer, after having it on tap i purchased 2 growlers for the fridge at home.

Oakes (9997) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - SEP 20, 2008
Amber-red colour. Some caramel nose. Some breadcrust malts and herbal hops on the palate. Earthy, caramelly taste. Well-balanced with a slight herbal hop note. Earthy finish. Nice bitter.

Beershine (4561) - The Sunshine State, Florida, USA - SEP 18, 2008
at brewpub. Deep amber, clear, some head and scattered lacing. Diacetyl in nose. Caramel malts. Earthy English aromas. Earthy with wood and stone flavors. Quaffable. Sweetish. Not bad. Is quaffable. Imagine it would be very good if it were cask-conditioned.

draft at brewery. Nicely done. earthy sharp hops dominate at first, and without a strong bitterness, keep on going as you drink the beer. Enjoyable.
