my least favorite ipa. maybe because it is an english style ipa but it tasted much more like a pale ale. mild hops and no bitterness in the finsh. the malt wasn’t pleasant with the small amount of hops present. apperance was in no one attractive. i really don’t want the rest of the six pack, would prefer something with my character.

Clear orange color. Hoppy smell. Slight bitter bite. What a boring pale ale. Bitter aftertaste. Something odd about the carbonation I can’t quite put my finger on.

Orange goldne-copper body with frothy white head. Crispy, refreshing, yet not leaving a definitive impression. Typical of many mediocre English-styled IPAs.

Slightly cloudy orange-copper w/ fluffy, pillowy tan head. Fresh, floral aroma w/ some grainy malts underneath. Medium, mildly creamy feel. Tangy, caramel flavour w/ dry, moderately bitter finish. A surprising offering from Sleeman.

Rated 6/1/06: Mild borderline weak IPA, heck it’s a mild Pale Ale. Don’t get me wrong I enjoyed the three I had, would make a good session beer but for the style it’s definately sub-par. Pours a nice light amber color with an enormous fluffy head and a crazy amount of lacing. Aroma is fairly weak with just a hint of hops and a faint malt presence. Mouthfeel is fuller than expected and the finish is very good. The flavor is mild and tasty but a lack of a hop dominance and malt backer really gets a lower mark than I would have wanted to. Again overall a decent beer just a wimpy IPA.

pours a cloudy golden with a large frothy head. not much on the nose, some malt and grassy hops. tastes of cereal with very light hops not much of an IPA. like something bud would make.

Pours a light amber with a small white head. Aroma is pretty mild. Very light hops. For some reason I picked up hints of vegatable in the initial flavor. Also light hops and mild bitter malts. Nothing special at all.

Nice Sleeman release. I tried this one on tour at the Brewery in 2005. Nice golden colour and great hop character.
