5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
I wish I knew how to articulate my adoration for this beer in a more technical manner; alas, I cannot. So I will keep it simple.
This is the best $#%*@$## I have ever had! The flavor is very complex and bold yet smooth. This beer never taste bad or becomes bitter in any way to me.
Out of all the different beer I have tried in my lifetime, this beer is far ahead of anything else I have tried.
Thank you Mill Street Brewery for such a fantastic product from one of your biggest fans!

A coppery colored beer with a light white head. The aroma of malts Hits the nose and then also on the back side of the taste. In the middle are notes of Carmel with a crisp cleanness.

One of my favorite beers. This beer is brewed in Toronto, Canada and it’s a killer when fresh. Unique flavour and long aftertaste.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours less carbonation than most Mill St beers, 1 cm head in a regular glass. Great aroma of hops and malt, no gimmicks. Taste is not complex, but in a good way. Finishes bitter.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
341ml bottle (from seasonal variety pack). Pours a weak head/ok lacing. Light colored orange-brown (Lovibond 12). Aroma of earthy malts, dough, and grapefruity hops. Tastes like citrus and cookie dough - odd how well balanced this is. It's slightly sweet but bitter, especially the finish. Good palate. Medium carbonation.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
341 ml bottle from Big Ridge. Pours a perfect ambler with little head. Roasted malt and caramel to the nose with hints of hay/grass. Nicely balanced toffee/toasted malt and hop flavors.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
341ml bottle. Deep orange-copper colour. Big yellow head with low retention. Caramel aroma, hops and dried apricot. Bold taste of bitter hops and malt, dry. Enjoyable. I found myself to drink this one quite often as it’s widely available.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: JUN 11, 2012 May 6 2012. 341ml bottle pours a clear deep amber color with a finger of white head that settles down to tight cap producing nice lacing for a while. Aroma is toasted malts with some sweet maple and grassy hops. Taste is light caramel malty sweetness with some toasted malt notes and a grassy hop bitterness in the finish. Excellent carbonation leave a nice soft silky feeling on the tongue. Strong hop aftertaste leaves citrus mouthfeel. Great balance, great beer!

As far as I know this is your best bet for an Ontarian ale which will please both the snobs and the lagerboys in your soiree. They set out to make a classic and succeeded. Great for sessions. Definitely a little more malty than hoppy but who’s complaining? Isn’t it said that it’s much more difficult to make a good tasting beer that isn’t masked by hops? Great blend of caramel/biscuit/citrus. The only reason I’m not rating it higher is that it’s just not one of my favourite styles... but it rates high within its style percentile and that’s the one that matters.
