Sleeman Clear

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

A straw colored cardboard- beer flavored soadie pop. Weak in color, taste or true beer character...this is a sodie pop swig fer the kiddies.

Nothing speacial about this standard commercial "Low Carb" lager. This means lack of malting and hopping. Average gassing and small head doesn’t do any flavours. Not to much stronger than soda water for my liking...

Pours light golden yellow, with minimal white head. Faint aromas of malts, taste is watery and not very flavourful. No bitterness and very little sweetness noted. Overall Meh.

Pale gold, decent size head (good job Josh). Celery, garden vegetable like malt. Very light, thin body, finishing with some grassy notes with touch of citric fruit.

Curiousity killed the taste buds. Friend of mine had a few... why? I'm not sure. These low carb "beers" aren't for beer lovers. Watery and beyond light - almost non-existant.

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!!

Pours a light yellow color with a white head. Aroma is malty, slight hop finish. Flavor is light malt, and a light bitter finish

Bought a variety pack of Silver, Clear and Red Ale for my guests. This is simply a alcoholic beverage, period . (surprisingly my wife who does not drink beer enjoyed this drink. Maybe there is a market for this after all)
