Day 31: Tankhouse Ale from Mill St. Brewery

My first taste of this was puckery bitter, like the sensation when taking a bite into a bitter melon. Not sure why. Possibly my palette wasn't prepared? The texture of the beer is velvety, a long finish, the flavour rests on the back of the tongue. The colour is a much darker brown than in the picture... like an ale, I suppose. I got mine on tap, so I had that fresh cold tap flavour.

On Mill St. Brewery:
Mill Street is a Canadian brewery founded in December 2002 in Toronto by Steve Abrams, Jeff Cooper and Michael Duggan. Joel Manning is currently the head brewer. The brewery has won numerous awards in its relatively short existence, including Golden Tap Awards for Best Toronto Microbrewery ('04-'08) and Best Toronto Beer (for Tankhouse Ale: '04-'07). Mill Street was named "Canadian Brewery of the Year" at the Canadian Brewing Awards in 2007, 2008, and 2009.

On Tankhouse Ale (from company website): Brewed with 5 different malts and an abundance of Cascade Hops, this balanced and satisfying 5.2% beer is our pridemaster's pride and joy.
