Mill Street Original Organic Lager

Could care less about this beer. Not really certain what the point behind an "organic" beer is anyway...

Tiny clear bottles make you feel like Andre the Giant drinking a beer. Pale straw, stinky wet hair aroma. Bland watery grainy palate. Who are these people kidding? This has gimmick written all over it. Normally I’d be vaguely disappointed, but not surprised, with another shitty pale lager. But this pissed me off that they’d charge a ridiculous price for what amounts to a 4-pack divided into six bottles (that’s what is behind the "1" for the Overall category of the total score).

222ml? WTF. Maybe the palest yellow I have seen. Foamy. A bit of an off lemon flavour. Not so much bad as bland.

Worst Mill Street offering by far. I’m still looking for the taste! Is light straw coloured with just a hint of hop character. I can’t believe they charge so much for a 6-pack of these 250mL bottles, total rip-off!

Clear bottle, 215 ml, "savoured" on April 16 2007; eye: straw, clear, slight effervescence, tiny white head that falls rapidly to leave a tiny ring around the glass; nose: corn, grainy malt; mouth: in that order, fizzy, grainy malt, finale en grainy malt with feeling of corn, no bitterness per se, medium body, grainy texture; overall: quite ordinary FRANÇAIS Bouteille claire, 215 ml, « savourée » le 16 avril 2007; œil : paille, claire, très légère effervescence, petite mousse blanche qui tombe rapidement et laisse un minuscule anneau autour du verre; nez : maïs, malt granuleux; bouche : dans cet ordre, pétillante, malt granuleux, finale en malt granuleux avec une impression de maïs, pas d’amertume pour dire, corps moyen, texture granuleuse; en résumé : b’en ordinaire

Not much to report here. Barely yellow, barely applely, barely beer. No head. Tastes an awful lot like apple juice. Or as Monty Python would say "It’s like making love in a canoe (f*cking close to water)" (or in this case, apple juice!

A lightly hazed golden lager with a thin ring of a white head. A very grainy malt aroma’ In mouth, a non-descript lager, with a bit of biscuitty malt, grassy notes, spent mash. Unremarkable. Bottle is about 6 months old.

[091-20061104] Tap @ Mill St. (Toronto, ON). Yeasty aroma. Clear, yellow body with a medium-lasting white head and lots of bubbles throughout. Lightly skunky flavour with the yeast. Light body. OK to repeat but the aftertaste is a little weird.
