Mill St. Brewery - Raspberry Beer

Category: Local (Toronto, ON) 

Type: Ale

Style: Fruit Beer

Brewed by: Mill St. Brewery INC
Alcohol content: 5.0%

When I saw on the menu that they had different fruit beers on tap daily I was excited and inquired what the flavour of the day was.  I was hoping it would be something we hadn't tried yet so was a bit disappointed when the waitress said it was raspberry which we have already tried twice.  I survived the disappointment and decided to order it since I love raspberry.

After the beer I had last week (that review is coming, sorry, we've fallen a bit behind) I was hoping it wouldn't be too sweet but was happily surprised.  At first, the beer tasted just like a Mill St. brew: flavourful but not overbearing.  Interestingly, the raspberry flavour started filling my mouth after a couple of moments and it was wonderful; not to strong or sweet, but also not too weak that it just tastes like regular beer.  The aftertaste was that of raspberry but with the hint of alcohol and beer.

Overall, I really enjoyed Mill St.'s attempt at raspberry beer.  I would definitely have it again and would even go as far to say that it is my favourite out of the three raspberry fruit beers I have tried.
