Schlafly English Mild

Brewed by Saint Louis Brewery
Style: Mild Ale
Maplewood, Missouri USA

At Hop in the City: Golden hue with some head. Aroma is malty and aromatic mellow hops. Hint of bubblegum and banana, earthy. Minor twangy and heavy malt taste with a bitter finish. Light to medium-bodied with a dry and woody mouthfeel. Overall good but not great, quaffable.

This rating was from the Hop In The City event where brews from the previous year were sampled (5 oz) by the attendees from kegs. This brew poured a small head of large mostly diminishing white colored bubbles that left behind a transparent uncarbonated yellow orange colored body. The aroma was a typical mild malt hop one and the mouthfeel was smooth. The flavor was a medium mild hoppy one.

When poured, this beer had a small sized white head with fine-large bubbles that was mostly diminishing.The body was clear and uncarbonated with a copper hue.The nose was lightly malty and some caramel along with a lightly sweet flavor.This beer lacked flavor in my opinion.The mouthfeel was smooth and watery and light bodied.

Hmmm, how to describe this one. Yes, it’s like a typical English Mild, I suppose. It’s a bit bitter but is lighter in color than expected, looking more like a Bass Ale. Decent enough.

Doughy aroma and toasted malt. Up front comes biscuit malt and a subtle spicy hop character. Dry and appetizing, but polar opposites from a true Mild.

On cask - and apparently this had been sitting a while before they put it on. Poured clear copper with vitually no head. ARoma has citrusy hops (orange-like) and light malt - not much here. Body is very light with no carbonation. Taste had light stale malt and the finish had light stale malt and hops. It was quite watery and had indistinct flavors. This is the worst thing I’ve had from the brewery. I will try this again fresh and rerate - it is confusing why they would have something this far past its prime available on tap.

tap, bubbly light amber color with a small thin head. hoppy aroma.sweet and bitter upfront flavor. slight citrus and alcohol bite. finish is a sweet and mild malty flavor. a very nice balance

On tap at the Bottleworks. Clear with a dirty golden hue. Bread and apples in the nose. Gummy and light. Light malts, light hops, light on flavor. But still a nice breadiness to the profile.
