Ruby Mild | The Civil Life Brewing Co.
ABV: 4.0%
IBU: 32
Style: Mild - Other
Actively Produced
Description: English Mild Ale is an obscure, old-fashioned brew. In England they say it’s quickly dying-out with the old-timers who drank it. There’s not much we can do about the situation over there, but we’re campaigning hard to raise awareness of this delicious table-strength beer on our side of the pond. There’s not much that's “mild” about it, the term originally referring to fresh ale, as opposed to the aged, sour stuff. Check out all the complex layers crammed into an unassuming session ale: aromas and flavours of husky cereal grains, freshly-baked brown bread and almost burnt toast, nutty, biscuity, caramelly, faint roastiness, earthy and citrusy English hops, distinctive fruity ale yeast esters. Well-rounded and almost chewy mouthfeel, yet somehow still a crisp and light impression, with hints of mineral water drawn from Old World artesian wells with a beautiful reddish hue. Great aftertaste too, richer as it warms. You won’t find a fresher example of the style, so please, spread the word! If it doesn’t catch on like it did in 18th-Century England, I’ll eat my rotary phone. Note: I will not eat my phone.
