Habman (16), London, Ontario, Canada Aug 16, 2004 I have tended to ignore "light" beers, but I decided to tackle this one as I have enjoyed most of the Sleeman offerings as session beers. Plus my wife brought some home and I was trying to be nice. Afterall, she does pick me up some "imported" beers once in a while at the liquor store. WELL? I can’t come up with any new descriptors for how un-beer like this stuff is. Nowhere as good as my beer kit homebrew and only marginally above the non-alcohol brands sold at the grocery store. If you say you like this you are full of crap or a low-carb slappy!! BorealeBoy (11), Omaha, New Hampshire, USA Jul 16, 2004 Make this beer by yourself... Take 1 part "normal beer" and add 2 parts water... Sucks! Terrible investment... Terrible... Terrible... Terrible. shorlin (373), St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada Jun 30, 2004 Ugly beer. Yellow, fizzy and uriney. Tastes and smells like non-alc beer, so why really bother? Very very bad. JPDIPSO (4863), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA Jun 27, 2004 The proverbial urinal colored liquid. Quickly diminished white head. Mild aroma of grape jam in a tin can. Seltzer water with a twist. Not sure what the twist is just yet. This really is quite devoid of substance. Light flavors of grape skins and grain. Thanks to slikwily, I can now say I have tried it. Boutip (2333), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Jun 14, 2004 Bottle: Poured a light yellow beer with no head or aroma or even taste. I don’t really know what to say about this one that wasn’t said before. It’s not beer but more like water with some beer tasting products included. This is a trend that will last for a year before disappearing, which should be a good thing really. magpie1998 (4), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada does not count May 28, 2004 It almost looks like beer. I’ve seen, and drank, less attractive beers.
Very pale yellow colour. If pressed, there is a hint of beer taste.
Not worth the calories it would take to drink it. yjman (1), Ontario, Canada does not count May 26, 2004 First taste doesn’t do it justice, you only ’get it’ towards the end of the beer; dead on its mark as a light, refreshing beer. Of course heavy lager drinkers used to dark beers won’t like it because it doesn’t assult your taste buds. But for the average, summer beer drinker looking for light refreshment; its right on! beanmedic (324), Hamilton, Ontario, Canada May 25, 2004 Updated: Mar 13, 2005Re-rate: Just as bad as a year ago. actually, much worse. alcoholic taste, blended with corn cob. clear is an understatement. more like yellow tinted water. smells like corn water and alcohol.
Original May 25, 2004: Compared to other light beers, this one is awesome. of course this is also the most expensive bottle of water you will ever buy. A bland beer, with no aftertaste, or any taste at all. 2/1/1/1/1 = 0.6
