1209 Sleeman Railside Session Ale Canada Mild Ale 2.6

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

473ml can <br> 4.2% Abv <br> Canning Date: April 7, 2018<br> Real Canadian Superstore –Main/Thompson (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> April 21, 2018 <br> $2.27<br> The beer pours a translucent amber colour with a generous foamy pinkish head which disappears in seconds. The aroma is caramel, grass, and weak floral hops. Not a citrusy note to be noted. The mouthfeel is weak to medium bodied with below average carbonation. Flavour is mild notes of caramel and grass with a weak bitter finish. As the beer is only 14 days from canning, I can’t chalk up the lack of aroma and body to age, only to it being a not so great beer.

1210 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.

473ml can <br> 4.9% ABV <br> Main/Bronte LCBO Outlet (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> April 20, 2018<br> $3.00<br> The beer pours a hazed caramel amber colour with a generous foamy light tan coloured head that quickly disippates to rocky islamds. The ‘islands’ last awhile. The aroma is tropical fruit, weak caramel, and some biscuit malt tones. The mouthfeel is medium bodies, while carbonation is high. The flavour is very acidic with definite notes of grains and tropical fruit, and with a hint of saltiness. Very weird for the style.

The aroma was papaya, mango, grass, and some mustiness. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with below average carbonation. The flavour was pretty one dimensional with the grass notes up front and the tropical fruit hop flavours in back. Not a lot of bitterness and not a lot of depth.
