Mill Street Original Organic Lager

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

Clusters of gooey aroma ease up the sides of the glass, marshmallow oat treats baked in a fruitwood fired oven, old struck matches in morning wet meadows. Flavors crisp and clean touched by light honey and an acute finish of oak flavored greens. This beer is designed for day hikes: a modest container, an ability to maintain good flavor--improve even--as it warms, refreshing and intricate. Pack a dozen in the rucksack and crack ’em for contemplation at the top of Sugarloaf.

Poured a small but bubbly and frothy head for the first, and a fairly substantial one the second time. An extremely clear straw gold. Looks great. Smells of floral hops, apple cider, celery (which seems strong at times). Has a crisp, hoppy, bitter, but well-balanced, taste. Some honey sweet. It lacks the overwhelming metallic taste of many local beers I've had of late (which would be fine if it didn't take your tongue hostage). Only downside to the taste is the somewhat neutral bitter finish, which detracts from the rest of the positives. The retro-leaning logo, sleek bottle and mass-appeal of this beer suggest that it is everything that Steam Whistle tries to be (except for organic, I guess). Only downside is the small bottle which requires you to plow through two bottles to get your usual one.

This is a beer in the North German Pilsener style - like a Becks. It has a perfect balance btw malt and hop bitterness balance. A light residual sweetness helps to promote the malt character. All noble hops. This beer is extremely well put together wonderfully quaffing. Excellent rendition of the style.

Not a huge fan of the lager, but this one is crispy, slightly citrusy and a smooth. closer to a lager then any macro, man these guys know how to make beer.

On tap at The Beer Bistro in Toronto. Great tastign lager. Would be fantastic on a hot summer day

On tap at the brewpub. Thin, pale, yellow color. Rich cereal malt aroma: clean and biscuity with hops. Light, sweetish, fruity flavor, with lots of cereal and biscuit taste. Clean and crisp, well-balanced and refreshing. Lighter than I wold like, but a good summer beer.

Golden Taps, 2005 Pale yellow, decent white head and nice lacing. (3+) Sweet floral aroma. Pleasant moderate bitterness throughout, slight grainy/grassy quality to it. Average Palate. 6/4/6/3/13<P>St. Lawrence Market, 2003 I was looking forward to the Organic Lager, . I was pleased with the sample but my taste buds had not yet recovered from the porter yet. I will have to try it again sometime. 8/4/7/7/15

Light golden colour with a small but long-lasting white head that leaves some great lace on the glass. Mild but pleasant & sweet aroma. Body is crisp, but a little on the thin side. Flavour is subtle, but well balanced, with more hop notes than you might expect from such a light lager. While it's definately the most mainstream offering from these guys, it's still a decent thirst-quencher.
