What Rhymes With Orange?
Mill Street Brew Pub

473 mL can from the LCBO, included in their "Essentials" mixed six pack. Coded Oct 30 2020 and served barely chilled.

Pours a hazy, translucent orange colour with some flaky sediment strewn throughout its body; seated atop is nearly an inch of soapy, foamy white head which recedes within several minutes' time. It's reduced to a creamy quarter-inch cap that proves far more resilient - looks great, with lots of lace deposition as the level drops. It smells primarily of grainy, wheaty pale malts, though notes of orange juice and peel are also present, alongside muted hints of spicy, powdery yeast, apples and cranberry.

Not an especially complex beer - the orange juiciness comes through immediately, as do wheaty grains and bready pale malt sweetness. Citrus peel and mild cranberry astringency come through at the finish, with orange juice tartness lingering briefly into an acidic, slightly lemony aftertaste; cranberry lingers longest of all. Light-medium in body, with middling carbonation that gently rolls across the surface of the tongue, lending a delicate prickliness to its exceeding smooth, soft texture. I found this to be extremely drinkable and somewhat refreshing, though not particularly satisfying as a saison.

Final Grade: 3.61, a B grade. What Rhymes With Orange? is serviceable if you're taking it as a fruit beer - the juicy orange flavours are enjoyable enough, while the cranberry provides a decent counterpoint at the back end of the sip. There are faint whispers of an actual farmhouse-style ale in here somewhere, but they're very tame and totally overwhelmed by the other ingredients. It's alright, but I doubt I'd buy it as a single all that often, and if you're eyeing this mixed pack specifically to tick this beer (and have no interest in Mill Street's mainline beers otherwise) then you can probably skip this safely.
