Millys Tavern Big Ben-Parliament Ale

Had at Milly’s Tavern in Manchester, NH. Nice dark yellow color and a mix of grapefuit and flowers in the smell. Tastes pretty good!

Wow, a bit more hoppy than I thought it would be, and I don’t mean that in a bad way. Copper/amber color with thin creamy head. Great flavor all the way through.

On tap at Milly’s. Nice thick and creamy head with a clearish ambery color. Somewhat fizzy mouthfeel, but not overly so. Nice malty flavor with a slight hoppy edge. An awesome beer!

Light to fair grapefruit/orange-citrus, floral hop nose with some underlying caramel malt sweetness. Very clear dark tan caramel colour with creamy white head. Perfumey, floral hop flavour and fair bitterness with good supporting rounded malt base. Medium-light body with decent carbonation. Well brewed and very enjoyable. Sampled at the brewpub with dirtymike, MartinT, muzzlehatch, Rastacouere and Volgon.

New England Road Trip Easter ’05 with MartinT, tiggmtl and Rastacouere, beer #10. Small sample at the brewpub, also in the company of Volgon and brewer Dirtymike. Clear amber with a pleasant head and lots of lace...sweet, pungent earthy nose...luscious, full body, delicately hoppy, quite sweet..thick and creamy, sweet fruit nectar...

Light amber, clear. Creamy off-white ring. Interesting nose, earthy and floral yet also orangey. At the same time, the hops feel pretty mellowed out. Fruity palate with a good dry-out effect, very floral and orangey fresh tasting hops. Creamy texture, rounded mouthfeel. That’s a pretty good pale ale there.

Grapefruits and oranges evolve into a dry pine hop bitterness...Pale malt sweetness blends amicably with the woody hoppiness...Meditative yet energetic...

Fresh growler from the brewpub: Clear light orange with a few small bubbles. Earthy hops and bready malts in the aroma, light carbonation, medium bodied starts and ends lightly bitter with some sweetness in the aftertaste.
