Niagara Falls Millstone Lager

Brewed by Niagara Falls Brewing (Moosehead)
Style: Pale Lager
Brampton, Canada

Robe blonde très claire surmontée d’une légère mousse blanche qui descend légèrement en dentelle. Arômes de malt avec des notes d’agrumes. Saveurs de malt, de céréales fraîches, de citron. Houblon de soutien. Bon corps. Intéressant...

Bottle (341ml). Poured a pale, clear light brassy yellow with a decent foamy white head. Frankly in both aroma and taste it’s an okay non-macro lager - not too much corn, some mild hops, with wheat and fruit notes, definitely on the sweet side, but not off-putting. Mouthfeel is surprisingly lively and carbonated considering the bubbled disappeared about five seconds after the pour finished. The carbonation also keeps the slightly excessive sweetness under control, allowing the wan hop portion to surface, resulting in a taste that is refreshing and not at all like a Green Giant product. If I had to order a pale lager, I might just go with this one.

A good solid pale lager indeed. Pours sparkling gold, foamy white head that floats around for a while. Aromas are unique, lemon-lime, hops, sugary. Taste is citrus, hops bitterness, grainy and yeast. Nice, Finish is citrus bitter aftertaste, and there’s a nice bite in the mouth. Good lager!

I like GRITSTONE somewhat, so my biased opinion is that Millstone is a dumbed-down version of that. It has less demanding, tenacious graininess than its older brother, and a sweeter finish that improves as the beer warms. Cold it comes across a bit metallic. Thinnish body. But pleasant overall. A good refresher and shockingly well priced, if nothing terribly special (I’d favor Creemore UrBock anyday, but you can’t buy that just any day.)

Bouteille de 341 ml achetée directement à la brasserie lors d’une visite dans la région de la péninsule de Niagara. Arôme: Arôme de fruit. Apparence: Couleur dorée sans mousse. Saveur: Goût fruitée d’agrume. Palette: Très léger en bouche avec une légère acidité d’agrume. En résumé il s’agit d’une bonne lager de microbrasserie. (Rating #4)

A very good local lager on par or better than Creemore....except NFB millstone is uniquely different so comparisons are moot. Just got back from the falls and pulled one from the saddlebag cooler on the bike....poured a clear light gold with a 2 finger frothy white head that stayed as a 2cm cap the rest of the drink (good malts lots of protein in this froth). Aromas of sweet malt and apricot or pear..nice nose to it. Started clean then a nice whack of sweet malt hits you balanced off with the fruity undertones of the hops...the finish is nice...mellow with malt/fruit after tastes...deee-lishh-us. I like this lager and think it’s one of the best cottage brewed lagers in Ontario (for my tastes anyway)

Nice aroma and taste of apricots. Malty and very pleasant. Fruity aroma--odd for a lager but quite nice. All in all a good bit of beer.

(WCC2003) Clear golden body with small off-white head. Aroma is herbal and piney. Taste is pine/herbal mild bitter. Light body.
