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 brewpub. Pours amber with a slightly off-white head. Has a caramel toffee aroma with a slight bit of acetone. Flavor is nice: sweet maltiness and a tart citrus-like finish of bitterness.

On tap, Kildare House, Windsor Ontario. Dark amber pour with a soft white head. Nutty malt aroma. Flavour is malty with trace of citrus hops. Restrained bitterness. Light body and carbonation. Was a good session ale.

On tap at Rhino in westend Toronto. Amber with white head. Sweet hoppy malt aroma. Flat, sweet light malt with very little bitterness. ESB my ass. I hope I just got a bad pour and it isn’t supposed to taste that bad.

POurs deep amber with nice notes of bitterness. The hops show a decent amount of flavor on the finsh but the bitterness comes thriugh.

On cask at the Mill Street Brew Pub. A noticeably bitter taste, with good hops coming through. An easy drink, but not overly impressive.

Fruity hops nose, some malt, deep copper, pours a fair sized toffee head. Flavour has pitfruit, hops and lots of malt. Really well balanced, light bodied, easy drinking. Lovely session ale. Well done again Michael Duggan! Can’t wait to try this on Cask.

Growler from the brewery. Copper orange in colour with little head or lacing. Nice malty aroma with brown sugar and coffee. Tastes very much as it smells, with the addition of a lovely lingering bitterness. Mouthfeel is tinny and a little thin - not unusual for the style. Pretty good. I’ll get this one again.
