Mill Street Original Organic Lager

Brewed by Mill St. Brewery
Style: Pale Lager
Toronto, Canada

(bottle) clear golden yellow colour, minimal head; aroma of malts, bit of grapefruit rind; light brief balanced taste; not very interesting

Smells like some kind of fortified grape juice that old ppl would drink in decades past. That doesn’t make sense, and neither does this beer. Looks like you pissed in a glass that still had a bit dried milk in the bottom. Tastes like some beer that wasn’t going to turn out so the brewmaster added something to it while the manager wasn’t looking. I can’t call it bad, but I’m glad I only had to pay for one in the sampler. Who cares if it’s organic, I care if its any darn good, and this one is only just past the ok mark.

Pours clear yellow slight head. Aroma is slightly hoppy, flavour is sweet and a little hops. Pretty much a pale lager, that never showed up to the party. Can be refreshing!

Pretty bland beer. Aroma of slight malt and yeast. Taste is a clean, crisp light taste with a slight bite aftertaste. It’s an ok beer, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to drink it again. Specially with the other beers that Mill Street make.

Bottle. 4.2%. Not bad considering the plethora of other Canadian entries in this style. Pour is considerably bubbly, with a weak white head that fizzes away. Aroma is sweet corn and grasses. Taste is quite light, grainy and corn, but the finish is quite smooth, mouthfeel is light, bubbly, and superb: this is definitely drinkable. A good patio beer for sure.

12 oz bottle
I have never been a big fan of pale lagers but this one is not bad. While I won’t be rushing out to get more a fresh bottle was actually enjoyable on a warm afternoon.

Aroma / Appearance - Carbonated and golden it bubbles in a lively fashion below a stark white head. Corn puffs with a extra dose of sweetness fill the air. For the style it is actually richer than I expected.

Flavor / Palate - Grainy corn pops, very mellow and delicate hops, and a light fruity finish indicate this bottle must have been well taken care of. Given its packaging I was surprised. This would not be the worst thing for drinking on the deck while cooking steaks.

bottle. Poured clear very pale yellow colour with a white head. Strong sweet ’off’ grainy aroma. Light watery mouthfeel. Smooth and malty and a little bitter otherwise generic flavour.

Bottle. Pours a crystal clear yellow, with a foamy white head. Smells like rotting compost, tastes like club soda. This sucks a whole lot of ass.
