Our unfiltered Organic Weissbier is made with organic malted wheat and barley to give it a distinctively light, smooth creaminess. The delicate banana-bread bouquet is from our German “Hefe-Weizen” yeast culture. Organic Spalt hops lend a lightly floral nose to this German classic. Prost!

473 mL can from the LCBO; one of two new brews included in their "Organic Mix" four pack. Dated Aug 17 2018 and served slightly chilled.
Pours a foggy straw yellow colour, topped with roughly one finger of loose, fizzy white foam that seeps off within two minutes' time. A thin collar lingers on, circling a patchy film - not much of a looker, especially by hefe standards, with minimal lace. The aroma is clean, straightforward and pleasant - I'm getting mostly grainy wheat sweetness, with touches of clove spice, banana bread and a subtly spicy, grassy hop note.
A respectable Canadian emulation of a German hefe. It tastes of gritty wheat husk, cereal grains and crackery sweetness, mingling together with esters of underripe banana; clove and floral, spicy hop notes begin to come through nearer the finish, preceding a similarly spicy aftertaste with hints of banana bread. Medium-light in body, with fairly assertive carbonation that continuously agitates the palate. Smooth texture, with extraordinary drinkability.
Final Grade: 3.7, a B grade. Mill Street's Organic Weissbier isn't the pinnacle of its style, but that sure as hell doesn't make it a bad beer - in fact, it's probably one of the top two or three Mill Street products I've sampled in the past year. While I wouldn't go out of my way for more of this, I enthusiastically finished this can and wouldn't have minded having a second. The closest comparison I can think of is Paulaner - a step behind my favourite German hefe exports, but still perfectly serviceable and fine to drink in its own right (and arguably the best of the four selections in this particular mixed pack, though I do like 100th Meridian). At the very least, it's better than Don Valley Bench.
