Ambre de la Chaudière

Brewed by: Mill Street Brewery
Brewed at: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Type: Traditional French Style Ale
7% A/V

First Impressions
Looks like Mill Street might be stepping out of their element with this one. A strong, Farmhouse style originating from northern France...
This could be very interesting!

First Sip
Oh yeah! Me likey! Low effervescence, yet rich with a complexity of flavours. Dried peaches come to mind! Fun, fun!

Halfway
A wonderful traditional style, executed just on the friendly side of perfect.

Bottoms Up
Mill Street Brewery must be staffed strictly by Mensa members. This beer and so many others are amazing. But this one is very good a far as I'm concerned and since this is strictly an exercise in me pronouncing my opinion; this is a great beer. Not at all like most main stream beers, Ambre de la Chaudière is flat and tastes unlike anything which might be sold in more than two countries. What it represents though is a centuries old technique of turning grain and water into something more marvellous than bread.

99/100
