Sleeman Amber Ale

Brewed by Sleeman Brewing & Malting Co. (Sapporo)
Style: Amber Ale
Guelph, Canada

It is what it is. A simple, slightly watered down beer that is reasonably well balanced and refreshing

It’s good for the kind of beer it is. If you compare it to Ricards it is better. But if you compare to Boreal well just don’t because you loose.

Brown in with off brown head. Light toasted nose. Hints of brown sugar with a clean finish.

Yeah, this was okay. Like all of the other sleeman beers I’ve had, it is punched from the same mold with more character in the colour of the beer than anything else. Certainly among all the amber ales I’ve tried, it would occupy middle of the pack at very best, and that’s being generous.

One bottle from a variety pack. Labeled ’Dark Amber 50’. Brown with a thin tan head. Sweet malts body with a little bitter at the end. A fine Amber.

A "step" beer bridging macro to craft. Light, honey brown amber color w. a fine, persistent head. Simple palate, but drinkable w. moderate, dank caramel malt taste. Heavy honey mouthfeel on the finish. Would never consider this an amber label as currently categorized.

Bottle under the label "John Sleeman Presents Dark 50 Amber Ale". Nice reddish hue with an average head. Sugary malt flavors with a toffee twist and a nice tart finish. Decent.

This one was in a US variety pack and said "Dark Amber 50." Has a decent fall-looking orange-brown coloring. Malt, dough and toffee in the aroma. Sugary malty hoppy palate. I liked this stuff, one of the better Sleeman’s I’ve had. Thanks for the trade Ron.
