Elora Irish Ale
I believe this is the retired Elora Irish Ale brewed by the Old Mill. However, it had the Trafalgar lighthouse cap on it, so I'm unsure if this beer or the Old Mill has been bought out. Seeing as the Old Mill Elora ale is retired, I'll post my review here. Comes out a ruby/blood red with a very small amount of foam. Smells very sweet. Plenty of fruits and berries, with some bready malts and toffee. Taste starts out with an overbearing sweetness. Dark fruits, berries, caramel and toffee just overpowers the palate, making me wonder if it would be more tolerable if served cold. Ends a bit bitter, with some grassy and earthy hops, with a bit of coffee. Mouthfeel is light bodies and somewhat oily. Starts out too sweet for me to consider it drinkable. I may try it again at a colder temperature, but I believe that if a beer needs to be served ice cold, then it's probably not that good a beer. Overall, not to my liking. If you like sweets, though, give it a try.
