Mill Street Original Organic Lager

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

[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.

meh. yeah that sums it up nicely, MEH. not much flavour, not much to it. but its ORGANIC, big whoop.

Bottle. pours very clear golden yelllow. lots of carbonation off the pour here. thin white head that was dead before i started to drink the beer. Light malty aroma if anything. some malty flavor, somewhat fruity. Very refreshing. Nicely balanced finish. Would buy this often if sold in the Vag.

These dinky, over-priced bottles did not excite me at all. On the tour I asked about the legitimacy of their claim to organic, as the production facility didn’t look certified organic (they brew other, non-organic beers). The tour guide gave me a blank look.

222 mL bottle!?! Smells and looks like a Canadian macro lage. And, as it turns out, tastes pretty much like one as well. Without the corn and stuff. Smooth and a little sweet. Didn’t get any citrus, or even any hops. May be good with lime? Disappointing, but how much can you do with a pale lager?

215ml bottle - what a little guy! Basically I’d rather drink anything else from this brewery, but I don’t mind this. It has a crisp aroma and flavour that isn’t as thin and bland as I was expecting, and I drank a bottle of this after a couple of the (much better) Tankhouse Ale. I was happy that it tasted like beer.

my least favourite of the mill st products, watery and bland, i do understand its a lager but just nothing seems to show itself here. seems like a canadain micro version of a corona

Draught @ Hostex: Pours a very pale, lifeless yellow. Aroma is sadly quite comparable to my green compost bin in the backyard, with a small amount of malt. Obviously things aren’t going well, and they don’t get better when I start tasting it. More wet grassy compost notes with malt and poor hopping. I wasn’t expecting this at all after the Coffee Porter and Tankhouse, and I’m somewhat disappointed.
