MILL STREET BELGIAN WIT
MILL STREET BELGIAN WIT
Saw this one at the LCBO today, when did it hit the shelves?. Also new there are Yankee Jim Ice Honey, and Grolsch blonde
AFAIK it has been out a while... it is more or less a permanent listing at the LCBO and dozens of stores are listed as having a decent supply.
I really like this stuff and it's great having locally-produced wits and hefeweizens that are full of 'cloudy' wheat beer character. Nothing like it.

I quite like it, and I drink it almost weekly. I love wheats in general, and have an affinity towards German styles, though this one is supposed to be in the Belgian style, wit beer. But that is semantics, I like it either way.

Well the earliest samples I tasted were more heavily spiced, with a bigger 'zing' of curaçao and and almost excessively herbal-tasting amount of coriander. It lacked perfect balance. One of the later pints I had tried at MS brew pub was more akin to a German Weisse in the style of Denisons.SteelbackGuy wrote:I have an affinity towards German styles, though this one is supposed to be in the Belgian style, wit beer.

The current bottled edition seems to retain a bit of the Belgian accent, almost a hybrid of the two styles. You won't mistake it for Hoegaarden Wit or Blanche de Chambly etc. but it's very tasty, balanced and extremely refreshing. It's an easy 'go-to' beer when one is not in the mood for a huge wallop of hops or dark-roasted malts.
