Mill Street Brewery Bob’s Bearded Red Irish Red Ale at 4.8% ABV | 23 IBU (On tap at Mill Street Brewpub YYZ, reviewed 12-Dec-2016)
Appearance: clear coppery medium amber with one finger of creamy nitrogen-charged light ivory head, excellent retention and heavy sticky lacing. (5/5) Aroma: mild/muted, caramel malt, bread, faint nutty, hint of coffee. (5/10) Taste: moderate sweet, low bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium creamy body, soft carbonation, short finish. (3/5)
A really pretty beer, with a great nitrogen head and associated creamy body. Unfortunately, that’s really the only thing special about this – the aroma and flavour are mild to the point of boring, and render it almost completely devoid of character. If you want a beer that looks great while you’re drinking it, have at it, but otherwise I don’t really see the point. (12/20)
