Mill Street Brewery Rowhouse Amber Lager/Vienna at 5.5% ABV | 12 IBU (C$7.00 at Mill Street Brew Pub St. John’s, 945 ml, no bottle date or best before, acquired 12-May-2017, reviewed 12-May-2017)
Appearance: clear medium amber with a short, short-lived ivory head diminishing rapidly to nothing, no lacing. (3/5) Aroma: caramel, biscuity malt, hint of grass. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, low bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, short finish. (3/5)
This is a case of, it is what it is. And what it is, is all about malt, with a smooth caramel dominating over a biscuity, almost graham crackery malt. There’s a hint of Noble hops coming through far in the background as a mild grassy note, but it’s very much an afterthought. A decent example of a boring style. (12/20)
