The heartbeat of our brewery - this was the first beer that we ever brewed back in 2002 when we opened our doors. The idea of making organic beer was a precept of our company, it still represents that spirit of doing the right thing and that governs everything we do here at Mill Street.

16oz can c/o Rob and Karen. Filtered yellow-tan body. Thin white head. Smooth, clean, simple malt bill. Has some cream ale tendencies. A hint of butter, but acceptable. English influenced Canadian stuff, mellow and drinkable.

Sampled from the tap at the Pearson location. Pots a clear crisp gold with a white head that dissipates completely. Aroma has a good amount if straw and grain with some hay backing. Flavor is similar with lots of straw supported by corn and grain notes.

Sampled form a 473 ml can this beer poured a bright yellow color with a huge creamy-soapy white head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was yeasty, phenol, egg white and grassy hops. The flavor was tangy, yeasty, phenol, egg white and hints of grass and citrus. Medium length finish. Light to medium body. Pretty awful.

16 ounce can into lager glass, no can dating. Pours slightly hazy pale straw color with a 1 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of lemon, cracker, bread, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Okay aromas with balanced pale malt and earthy hop flavors; with decent strength. A bit estery, but not too bad. Taste of lemon, cracker, bread, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, cracker, bread, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Good balance and robustness of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Very clean on lager flavors in the taste with minimal yeast ester notes present. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, crisp, and slightly bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 4.2%. Overall this is a very solid Euro pale lager style. All around good robustness and balance of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; and very smooth, crisp, and clean to drink. A pleasantly enjoyable offering.

New England Bucket List Trip #141. Keg at the brewpub, Ottawa location. Pours a slightly hazy pale golden with a thin creamy white head. Good head retention. Aroma of grassy hops and pale grainy malt. The taste is grainy, doughy malt, mild floral hops. Medium bodied, refreshing.

Big can from the liquor store in Charlottetown Pours a fairly clear straw color with a huge frothy bubbly white head that persists. Bready earthy light fruity aroma with a hint of floral hop. Bready sweet maltiness with a hint of fruit and spice. Medium to light body with a moderate level of carbonation. Decent lager with a nice breadiness.

Bottle from the LCBO. Very pale clear yellow with a small white head that disappears quickly. Nose is very light roasted malts and straw. Light sweet bread and even lighter bitterness. Mouth is thin with soft carbonation. Drinkable.

Crisp clean aroma. Looks like pale lager. Is a little warm from a 16 oz can (funny since this is from acandahdah.) Taste is a little metallic but even warm has few negative connotations. Decent palate sizzle.

330 ml bottle. A light golden beer with a very small white head. Grassy aroma. Flavor has notes of grass and hops. Texture is watery. Disappointing.
