Bottle. Of all of the Sleeman beers, this is the least bad. Poured a clear orange with a two finger whitish head. Aroma of malt, pepper and some grassy hops. Flavor was sweet malt and a bitter finish.

Draught @ Devonshire Cat, Sheffield. Bedfordshire England S3 8GG.
Clear medium orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, moderate hoppy, peppery. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration, and a peppery finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (270708)

Its really hard to rate this beer because it did taste good, but tasted more like a lager than an IPA? I was kind of confused. As a lager I would rate it higher but as an IPA I probably should have rated it lower. I do not taste the hopiness that characterize a good IPA.

Bottle. Nearly odorless. Big foamy white head. Strange flavors for an IPA...kinda malty, sharp carbonation, strange bitter finish. I would never identify this as IPA, and I wouldn’t buy it again.

Bottle. Pours golden with a steady white head, grassy aroma with caramel. I taste sweetness in the malt, caramel, light hop bitterness, with wateriness. Mouthfeel is watery also.

Fairly light and crisp. I’m not sure I’d call it an IPA, but I quite liked this one. Very drinkable and clean tasting. I could drink a lot of these in one session.

Bottle. Pours hazy orange with and off white head. Sweet aroma, with peach and apple. Medium body. Flavor is lightly sweet, with caramel, peach, and a strange, not quite metallic quality. It’s drinkable, but not that good.

Bottle. Pours a copper color with a thin beige head that dissipates after a minute or so. Aroma of a meadow, plus some hops. Thin taste, low on hops, with a slightly metallic aftertaste. Not a very good representation of an IPA. This will be my last Sleeman’s. Disappointing.
