[1] Review by lenusik from Toronto, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (5/18/2008 12:53:57 AM)
"What exactly is a 'mild ale'? Is this the light version of an ale similar to a light lager? Anyway I've tried this a couple of times on draught and still not sure what to make of it. It pours a deep brown colour with an off-white head. The aroma is roasted malt, with some fruity and spicy tones, and just a hint of hops. The flavour profile is slightly sweet (sugary) followed by some nutty flavours before giving way to a slightly bitter finish. "

[2] Review by pootz from between Calgary and Waterloo, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (8/11/2007 3:58:08 PM)
"Pored from a fresh growler, we get a decent clear mahogany colored ale with a tight tan cap that lasts well enough. Light toast and some roasted husk "char" in the nose, light hay-like hop tones. Medium body, rocky, sharp mouth feel malty character with a mild astringency. Hard watter gives the hops more of a sharp edged "bite" than is common in most milds. Malty-toasty in the front side then the bittering hops kick in and compliment the roasted barley char astringence leaving mild lightly dry, roasted finish....light metallic after taste. Fairly true to style for a mild although I would like to see some fruity esters from better ale yeast in this brew, even though it is not necessary for style adhesion....which is a "mild ale" not "traditional". Drinkable and clean...but just too much like the so so dark milds from F&M which I have never been partial to
