Poured out a nice clear mid-range brown with an off white bubbly crown and consistently left minimal ropy lacing. The aroma was weak but for a widely available beer its just different enough to appeal to someone venturing out from the mass produced sort. Slight caramel, light caramel and roasted malts with grains. The taste is weak caramel that is blended near equal to the hops. Some sweetness. It doesn’t come across all that smooth with a sort of fluffy carbonation feel and it was more bitter than I had expected from a Sleemans product (cool). Gets ’er done but is nowhere near the flavour factories on the west coast US pumping out ambers that water the mouth.

Bottle. Amber pour. No head. Aroma is citrus and some mild hops. Flavor is water. Very thin and poor.

Bottle: Poured an amber color, not much head. The aroma was non existent. Smelled like a beer. The flavor wasn’t much better, no character or body or taste. Overall, weak.

Bottle: Amber color,weal heading, weal lace, no off tastes. Weak mouth feel, some fruits and stale malt presence over attenuated hopping, fast finish... clean and fizzy. A dollar beer tarted up in a premium package...but not premium taste.

This beer poured a reddish-amber colour with a very distinct sweet malt flavor. It hint of a caramel and licorice as well. Overall this beer wasn’t too bad.

nice sweet malt flavor with hints of brown sugar and caramel - I found three different Sleeman’s this weekend in Seattle and this one was by far the best

Good canadian beer. Hints of caramel and nuts. Small head which goes away. The beer appears very pale red. Bad aftertaste. Faint hoppy taste. Very similar to other Sleeman beers.
