Blindman Brewing Super Mild – Mild Ale at 3.4% ABV | 24 IBU (C$4.72 at Collective, 568 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 27-Feb-2020, reviewed 6-Mar-2020)
Appearance: slightly hazy amber-brown with two fingers of pillowy beige head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: mild, toasted bread, nuts, caramel, light grass. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-lively carbonation, off-dry mild bitter finish. (4/5)
Toasty bread and ever-so-mild – this is basically a breakfast beer. I’m a bit torn on how to rate this: it’s so mild that I feel like I have to mark it down, but that’s clearly by design, much like the extremely low ABV. It never comes off as watery, probably due to the unexpectedly lively (but not inappropriate) carbonation, and ultimately is a beer you can sip to enjoy, or simply guzzle to quench your thirst.
