Mill Street Tankhouse Ale

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

(bottle) dark amber colour; aroma of fruit, bit of longan - very pleasant and promising; taste disappoints - very simple, with unpleasant bitter finish

Aroma is malty with some piney hops. Looks copper in colour. Nice thick rocky head. Tastes both malty and hoppy. Good balance. Nice bitterness. Some pine, citrus, grass. Caramel, toffee. Medium bodied. Average carbonation.

The smell is actually quite nice, a medium amount of dark malts and lots and lots of... goldings I think?? lots of hops in the aroma anyways. It’s great! A very even not-quite dark brown, little head with some lacing, pretty boring to watch. Very muted taste initially, the malt and then the hops come on late in the tasting. A bit fizzy on the palate, but also a bit plain, a bit too easy. A lot nicer than I expected, but still room for a bit more malt and different hops on the tounge I’d say. After reading the commercial description I feel a bit silly about the goldings comment, but.... wait, there it is, cascade funk.... but I mean if your going to use cascade you use it all at the start and ed of the boil! Give it the one-two, or don’t tease me with it at all!

In pint glass in Toronto Massive, chunky beige head. Brilliant Magnificent deep red color. Some malt on the aroma, but it is slight. Later in the glass the malt was more pronounced with slight pine. Full mouthfeel with maltiness following through to a bitter end. I enjoyed this beer, but was mostly pleased by the appearance.....would have liked to have said the same about the taste!

Dark amber with an off white head, great lacing. Aroma reveals a nutty maltiness and a tonne of hops. The malts, supporting hops. Really great balanced beer.

Bottle. Aroma of powdered cocoa, malt, and hops. Taste is very cocoa sweet with a bitter hop finale. Medium carbonation gives a neat mouthfeel, and the lingering finish is quite enjoyable.

On tap at the brewery, copper-amber color, with a white head, nice hoppy nose of juicy citrusy, lemon peel floral hop grassiness and leafiness, with a biscuity, toasty malt accent, and some piney, resinous aromas follow through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, fruity, flowery hop, leafy character, with some resinous, piney notes, and some toasted, bicuity malt, light toffee accents, and a zesty, citrusy hoppiness, leading towards a grassy, leafy, hop bittering finish.

Ruby-copper pour with a small off-white head. Aroma of apple cider, orange peel, pine and earthy caramel. The flavor is floral pine with a touch of citrus. Biscuit malt with a touch of caramel and a dry finish. Medium-thin body with moderate carbonation. Nice session ale.
