Notes:
So I pulled on my Granite Pub T-shirt on and heaved a small sigh that i was no longer able to go to my local brewpub, having moved  from Toronto. As great as the beer scene is in the TDot, there are but two (at least while I was there) brew pubs in a city of 4 million... Pretty pathetic (Victoria now has three). The good news is that there is still a lot of great beer-making in the Tdot.

Thanks to a fellow nerd named Dave, I was introduced to Mill St. by way of a their astounding Coffee Porter. This stuff kicked my ass: ninja style. But you can't have more than 2 or 3 of them, unless your one of those Red Bull junkies. So I was pleased to pick up a potential session beer by Mill St.

This beer has a great nose and it and really, really finishes well. Really. There is very little aftertaste and finishes great. Did I say it finishes well? Crap. I could pound these babies down like a Flava Flave beats down women. It has a nice but very mild fruitiness to it. The barley is mild and perhaps not as flavorful as I'd hoped, but I ain't complaining. It leaves to tongue clean with very little aftertaste. It's great... Even luke warm.

My bro is a Lager guy... And I'm getting him a case of this fizicchisle when he comes to town.

Later, poop-heads.
