Milson

Tap to rate

Milson is the hazy pale ale that anchors Sureshot's otherwise constantly changing line-up. The brewery calls it a New England pale ale and builds it on an oaty body, which gives a soft, rounded feel under a dense haze. A high dry hop of Citra, Galaxy and Mosaic sets the flavour: tropical fruit in the direction of mango and passion fruit, ripe peach, orange citrus and a faint berry note behind them. Malt plays a supporting role, showing as pale grain and a touch of creaminess, and the finish is smooth and fruity.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Milson

◎ Appearance

Milson presents a hazy golden body with substantial cloudiness from suspension, characteristic of the New England pale ale style. The dense, persistent head displays fine carbonation and good adhesion to the glass. Beneath the haze, a warm amber-gold tone emerges when held to light.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by tropical and stone fruit notes lifted by the high dry hop charge of Citra, Galaxy, and Mosaic. Mango and passion fruit lead the impression, backed by ripe peach and bright orange citrus, with a subtle berry undertone woven throughout. A gentle pale grain backdrop and creamy malt presence round out the aromatic profile without dominating.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and rounded, built on an oaty malt foundation that delivers pale grain character and a whisper of creaminess. Hop-driven tropical and stone fruit flavours unfold across the mid-palate—mango, peach, and orange citrus with hints of berry—while the moderate bitterness (40 IBU) sits in balance without asserting itself aggressively. The body remains smooth and approachable throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and fruity, with a smooth fade that echoes the hop-driven character without lingering harshness. Residual sweetness from the oaty malt and soft citrus notes persist gently into the aftertaste.
