Brewed as an homage to Belgian pale ales, De La Mimico comes from Toronto’s Great Lakes Brewery. A 4.9% Belgian-style pale, the beer comes in 473mL cans that celebrate the Humber River. The beer is orange-gold and pours with an impressive fluff of white foam.
DLM has yeast, orange zest, and something slightly spice to the nose (coriander?). The flavour charts a similar course, with Belgian yeast and citrus esters leading the way. There is some citrus bitterness here, but it is softened by the yeastiness.
The beer is soft in texture, with refreshing witbier characteristics that make De La Mimico a nice choice for a hot afternoon. I’d have liked a bit more hoppy oomph, but I’ll live.
Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
