There are beers that are good and beers that are great. This beer is both. I sampled this Mill St. brew, which I didn’t recognize, and I loved it. Smoothness of a lager with the full flavour of an amber. A near perfect combination.
Then I read the fine print, in a very small font above the Organic Amber Lager I see 100th Meridian. Aha! One of my favourite beers repackaged*. So I guess this makes this a retro review.
I still love it. And I do like the fact that the name is a reference (purposeful or not) to the Tragically Hip song of the same name, and the reference to the Tragically Hip song celebrates Canada and was there before their final tour so wasn’t monopolizing on sympathy for Gord Downie. But it makes you wonder why they have de-emphasized the 100th Meridian name?**
Anyone a bit reluctant to dive into an amber should try this beer. Not at all aggressive, smooth and flavourful and easy drinking as well. I am not an easy 18!
