341ml clear bottle. Pours a nice deep gold colour, head is compact, but last a fair while, white in colour. Light citric hop aroma, traced breadiness. Flavour is bready malt, grains, fair amount of citrus hop. Very little bitterness, some mineral notes. Dry finish. Medium body with quick carboantion. Drinkable basic Canadian golden ale. Nice bottle opener included with the 6pack.

Overall, not too bad, but is overall a disapointing effort for a 20th anniversary beer. Aroma of cheap and yeasty malts. Taste is plain, malty and overall not pleasant. Overall, a pretty bad effort for a special occasion

On tap. Wow, couldn’t they have drummed up something a little more interesting for their 20th anniversary? The answer is, ";of course not."; Flat, grainy, low-alcohol yet kind of boozy, and that famous washed-out ";blah"; taste I’ve come to know from Sleeporo. My server was kind enough to pour me a sample before I picked something else, so that was a pretty sweet deal...

Draught at Rectory Cafe, Wards Island. Surprisingly not bad. Pint is rusty amber with fake soapy head, Good fine carbonation. Aroma yeasty and prickly, hints fruit. Taste fruity esters, cherry, hints of lemon. Hops are strange making the hop finish indistinct. Has some of that yesty-fizzy-chemically Sleeman genericness. This makes the palate a bit soapy and drying further into the pint. But do try it.

A hint of skunk at first pour. Amber colour, thin head. A bit grainy lasting aftertaste. Similar to other Sleeman beers.

(Bottle) Pours an orange amber body with a quick dissipating white head. Nose of cereal. Pretty poor by comparison to other Sleeman one off’s like the John Sleeman’s Present series. Mild hops and malt mingle for a purely average beer. Sleeper-cell beer?
