Sleeman Cream Ale

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

Pours clear gold with a white fizzy / pillowy head. Carbonation is very active. Aroma is clean malts with faint spicy hops. It is medium bodied with lots of fizzy carbonation. Starts off smooth with creamy taste and some hops, then the carbonation takes over all of the taste and the finish has light spicy hops and sourness. Further down the glass the sourness of the finish mellows out, becoming smoother on the finish, but it is still way overcarbonated. It appears I like this better than most, but you could still do much better for the money.

Pours a fairly deep golden with a thin but persistent white head due to a continuous stream of bubbles. Corn adjunct nose. Thin sweet maltiness and adjunct taste without any discernable hops or other flavors. As others have suggested, this is a very pedestrian macro-style lager.

This is a nice looking beer. It is clean and crisp looking with not much foam. I poured it hard but nothing much came up. Aroma is corn and grass and that pretty much sums up the flavor as well. This could be from any of the macros.

Poured from bottle. Grassy wine aroma. No head to speak of. Light malt flavor with some hops in there. Bubbly feel, but with a dryness I liked. Finished ok. Really not that bad, but def not a great one.

A clean crisp yellow color with a nice aroma. This was a very drinkable beer and tasted great. Liked the light malts used and the hops where not too bad. I would have another if this was being served at a party.

Color of gold, sweet nose with light head. Flavor of sweet and sugar, finish very light and clean.

I’m surprised to see this as low as it is, not because it’s anything spectacular, but it’s not too bad. I can imagine it being the perfect beer to deep fry onion rings in. Otherwise, it’s something to pass on unless surrounded by standard macrobreweries. I was a bit disappointed as I had Sleeman’s Porter on tap, which was quite good.
