One of Mill St.’s great early successes, Tankhouse still impresses. Maltiness and hopping are finely balanced and also nicely restrained. This ale tastes less like citrus or pine needles—and more like beer.
Medium-bodied and just off-dry, this intense Niagara benchland Riesling is full of tangy citrus, apple and peach flavours. Bold enough for barbecue—and the 10% alcohol per volume (ABV) makes it a lovely wine for lunchtime.
Here’s a useful red that’s light on its feet and has food-friendly acidity but still packs enough personality to handle a steak. Dry and admirably well balanced, it shows a hint of smoke under the red cherry.
