1526 Mill Street Big Little Lager Canada Light / Lite Lager 3.1

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

473ml can <br> 3.5% ABV <br> Canned On: March 10, 2020<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> May 29, 2020<br> $3.35<br> The beer pours a clear pale gold colour with a bubbly white head which is short lived. The aroma is very citrusy, in a tropical fruit sort of way. There are also notes of grains and earthy hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is well balanced between the malt and the bitter citrusy notes of the hops. Very easy drinking.

1528 Mill Street Capelin Hound Session IPA Canada IPA 3.5

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 7

355ml bottle&#60;br&#62; 4.20&#37; ABV&#60;br&#62; Bottled On: May 2, 2018 &#60;br&#62; Main &#47; Bronte LCBO Outlet &#40;Milton, Ontario, Canada&#41;&#60;br&#62; October 6, 2018 &#60;br&#62; &#36;2.49&#60;br&#62; The beer pours a hazed golden orange colour with planty of bubbles clinging to the side of the glass and a quarter inch creamy off-white head which lasts a few minutes. The aroma is passion fruit and citrus with some grainy malt and herbal hops as well. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. A surprising hearty body for a session IPA. The flavour is a downer however, the fruity and citrus notes found in the aroma are very weak on the tongue with the grassy notes dominating the flavour. A decent beer nonetheless.

1529 Mill Street Chocolate Blossom Canada Chocolate Stout 3.4

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

473ml can&#60;br&#62; 6.8&#37; ABV&#60;br&#62; Canned On: September 11, 2019&#60;br&#62; LCBO Outlet # 007 &#40;Toronto, Ontario, Canada - Eglinton &#47; Mt. Pleasant&#41;&#60;br&#62; October 2, 2019&#60;br&#62; &#36;3.95&#60;br&#62; The beer pours a solid black colour with a huge foamy dark brown head which quickly recedes to a creamy ring. The aroma is dark chocolate, coffee, cherries, vanilla, and roasted malt. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour brings a new element to this beer as there are elements of charred wood in the flavour that you don’t get in the aroma. Chocolate abounds with hints of cherry and coffee. Doesn’t hold a candle to the old Black Oak Double Chocolate Cherry Stout of yesteryear however.

1530 Mill Street Chuckwagon Wheat Canada American Wheat 3.1

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

355ml bottle &#60;br&#62; 5.3&#37; ABV &#60;br&#62; Bottled On: August 8, 2018 &#60;br&#62; Main &#47; Bronte LCBO Outlet &#40;Milton, Ontario, Canada&#41; &#60;br&#62; October 8, 2018&#60;br&#62; &#36;2.49 &#60;br&#62; The beer pours a hazed light straw colour with a generous white head that lasts a few minutes. The aroma is wheat, spices, bubble gum, and banana. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is sweet up front with flavours of wheat and light fruit, with a mildly tart finish. While it is closer to a hefeweizen than an American Wheat, it is not a beer I would try again.

Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 10 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9

20oz draught <br> 4.2% ABV <br> I tried this beer on tap on May 29, 2009 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a blackish-brown colour with a creamy tan coloured head that lasted and produced a thin film down the side of the glass. The aroma was fairly simple with huints of roasted malt and coffee. The mouthfeel was creamy and full bodied, with mild carbonation. The flavour was extremely refreshing, and great. There were the same hints of chocolate in the flavour, along with a nice bitter finish.

355ml bottle <br> 5.0% ABV <br> Milton LCBO Outlet #1 (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> May 17, 2013 <br> Lawnmower beer #2. The beer poured a translucent red-tinged gold with a thin white head. The aroma was pine, grapefruit and grains. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was light grapefruit and bready malt. A crisp refreshing drink but falls considerably short of the Hawai'ian description found in the initial press release

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

355ml bottle <br> 5.0% ABV <br> Milton LCBO Outlet #1 (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> May 17, 2013 <br> Lawnmower beer #3. The beer pours a hazed golden yellow colour with a thin white ring of a head, yet a thinner smaller ring than the shandy produced. The aroma is light wheat, grains, and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with slightly above average carbonation. The flavour has a light fruity sweetness to it with a dose of wheat and grass. The extra carbonation does come as a surprise at first. A one and done beer at best.

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

550ml draught <br> 7.2% ABV <br> I tried this beer on tap on February 23, 2012 at "C'est What" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a translucent orange-gold colour with a thin light tan head. The aroma was yeast, floral hops and bready malt. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied, slighty creamy and medium carbonation. The flavour was slightly sweet, malty, and the yeast is definitely apparent.

1539 Mill Street Hopped and Confused Canada IPA 2.3

Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

473ml can <br> 4.7% ABV <br> Main/Bronte LCBO Outlet (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> April 20, 2018 <br> $3.25<br> The beer pours a medium urine yellow colour with a thin white film that stands in for a head. Very hazy and very unappealing to look at. The aroma is light tropical fruit, some grass, and some lemony scents. The mouthfeel is watery with below averahe carbonation. Despite biying this 2 days ago, this could be an old beer based on appearance, aroma and mouthfeel. The flavour is grainy malt, tropical fruits, and a weak bitter finish. I don’t expect Mill Street to make world beating beers, especially now that they are under the Labatt (i.e. Anheuser-Busch-Inbev) umbrella, but I do expect better than this.

The beer pours a hazed light gold colour with a thin off-white film for a head. Quite a bit of microbubble effervescence though. The aroma is quite grainy with a weak herbal hop note. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is well balanced between the grains and the hops. The alcohol is not noticeable, and there are no off-flavours like metal or phenol. Quite good actually.

20 oz draught <br> 6.1% ABV <br> I tried this beer on tap on March 20, 2009 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The mouthfeel was medium bodied, with medium high carbonation. The flavour had some malt, and a nice balance of grapefruity hops. There was also some acidity in the flavour.

The aroma is very grainy with a hint of earthy hops and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation, what good old fashioned lager drinkers would describe as ‘crisp’. The flavour is very grainy with just a hint of a bitter hop finish. Also in the finish is a bit of salinity, which was not a delightful surprise as this isn’t a gose&#33;

1546 Mill Street Key Lime Pie IPA (Nitro Charged) Canada IPA 2.6

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 4

440ml can<br> 5.40% ABV<br> Canned On: July 22, 2020<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> December 7, 2020<br> $3.95<br> I have a confession to make…………………I’ve never had key lime pie. The beer pours a very hazed golden brown with a very creamy, very large off-whire cap which lasts a few minutes. The aroma is graham crackers, lime, cream, and perfumey hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour if this beer is NOT WELL BALANCED between the sweet crust elements and the tart lime flavours. In fact, I think I’ve had enough after only two mouthfuls.

The aroma was grainy malt, weak earthy hops, hibiscus, and light citrus notes. The mouthfeel was weak to medium bodied with below average carbonation. The flavour was quite fruit forward, with the grainy malt in the background. There was very little bitterness in the finish. An interesting beverage.
