Pours pale amber with a thinish head and no lacing. Aromas of light malt sweetness. Taste: caramel and toast just offset by a herbal hop bitterness. Moderately full mouth and good finish.

355ml bottle, part of the 'Summer Brewpub' mixed 12-pack now available out west here. I've come to learn that this was probably brewed in T.O., but fuck it, the idea and name is from our nation's capital, as such.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, very finely foamy, and essentially just creamy off-white head, which leaves some broadly spaced webbed lace around the glass as it lazily subsides.
It smells of semi-sweet, bready and doughy caramel malt, some muddled domestic bruised stone fruit, free-range simple syrup, and very plain earthy, weedy, and herbal green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a lesser biscuity toffee essence, still hard to discern citrus and pome fruity notes, a bit of stoney minerality, and more well understated leafy, musty, and dead floral 'verdant' hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its merely perfunctory frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing else of note to, er, note here. It finishes trending dry, the malt bleeding out, and the bland hops wanly taking up the slack.
Overall, this is an ok version of the style, as any Mill Street brewing concern taking on an Old World style usually bores me to freaking tears, and I gotta say, points for consistency, chaps! Yeah, nothing to write home about, even if the distance is only the Ottawa-Toronto corridor.
