Mill Street Stock Ale

Brewed by Mill St. Brewery
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Toronto, Canada

Full gold. Aroma of blackberries, grapes, pale malts. Slightly crisp, vaguely grassy, with some light peach and pear esters. Generally a clean finish. Sweetish, well-constructed beer, but ultimately you'll want more if you're on Ratebeer.

Dark straw-yellow; yellowish tinted, very fine & dense head. Strange nose, first sweet with toast or baked cake, then taken over by a repellent smell of goats’ cheese. Let me guess - "skunked" by the clear glass bottle? Again very toasted flavour, much more than the colour would suggest. Finishes crisp, leaving a bit of sweetness retronasal, which turns to full toffee flavour warming up. Light body, slight fizzy impression. Not very "erfreulich". I cannot understand why a micro can be that dense: bottling in clear glass. Thanks to my travelling partner in beer, TW.

Light golden colour, thin white head. Light fruity aroma, flavour is very grassy and fruity (peach). Nice pale malt backbone, light hopping. Very refreshing, a nice summer beer.

A lightly hazed pale gold ale with a thin white head. Lightly skunked lemony malt aroma. In mouth, a dry malt with macro profile, uninteresting. Bought at LCBO in November 2006.

Another flavoured sparkling water or soft drink replacement from these guys. Some mid-sip fruit taste. Was light mouthfeel and malts and hops made it drinkable. But not as drinkable as their Tankhouse Pale. Dry aftertaste.

Draught. Sampled at the 2005 Toronto (Fort York) Festival of Beer. Poured a clear, pale yellow with an average white head. Aroma of icing sugar, some grain (corn?), weak hops, a bit of leafiness and apple. Tasted grassy-grainy (rye) with some bland hops, not much malt - a flaccid, somewhat corn-flavoured standard Canuck brew, maybe less like a carbonated haystack and a little more malt than the norm of this type. Mouthfeel was unmemorable. Disappointing, their weakest brew yet.

Average looking brew . Light , slightly malty , some spice . Nothing great in it . At the end some alcohol shows up .

Doors Open Toronto: At the brewery and across the street. Sparkling gold, enough hops to notice and a crisp refreshing pint. Hit the spot on a warm day.
