First Impression
A new-school/old-school label, Mill Street has had some fun with labeling lately and they tend not to disappoint with the vessel interior either. Looks like lotsa hops to be had with the Doppel Pils, so this should be good!

First Sip
Lovely golden colour. A subtly citrusy nose and a really nice, soft, curvy sort of hop on the tongue.

Halfway
Surprising drinkability for a big ole pile of steeped hop buds! For fans of hops this is an interesting beer. It is hoppy for sure but it is hoppy without the typical clout of a heavy hopped beer.

Bottoms Up
This is once again a well crafted beer from the brewers of Mill Street in Toronto. They've managed; to as great an extent as I've experienced, to load up the hops without getting crazy. Either through careful selection of some pretty special hops or by artfully and precisely folding the hops into the brew or both carefully selecting and masterfully brewing the whole orchestra they've accomplished a beer of distinction. The finer qualities of the brewers bud have been revealed in as polite a fashion as is likely possible. As a fan of atomic hopping of beer to the point that the bitterness is nearly painful I must admit this could easily make a daily refreshment in my home. My recommendation: buy some, chill it and drink it. It's pretty darned good.
