Commercial Description:
Remarkably smooth for a full-flavoured beer. Our founder's intention was to combine the refreshing taste of a German lager with the distinctive taste of an English Ale without blending the two.

Flavourfull, but more like a full-bodied lager than an ale. Still, nice if you want something out of the norm.

Light gold color. Aroma is slightly skunky. Taste is bland, slightly fruity. This beer could use more hops. Overall this beer is unimpressive.

Medium gold in colour with a lagerish aroma. It’s fairly smooth drinking, but lacks the body and the bitterness that you would expect from an ale. I seem to taste more corn in it every time I drink it.

It's been so long since I've poured beer from a clear bottle! In case I forgot to notice the clear bottle, the skunky aroma helped highlight the experience. Has the "fizzy yellow" appearance, although Sleeman is slightly darker than most domestic lagers. The body is actually somewhat flavorful, although there are is a metallic harshness that is competing with the sweet malts and light hops. Not horrendous, but I suspect another bottle or two would really wear on me.

Skunky aroma, creamy white head. Golden pour. Dry finish. Few hops. I wasn't too pleased with it, but it's not awful. I guess I'd rather take a Sleeman over any Labatt product.

Better than the other domestic #@&% we get here in Canada. Nice enough golden colour with a moderately creamy head. Not a great aftertaste, but if I'm out and this in the fridge I'd live with it.

Taste gets nasty as it lingers...FOREVER. Flavor is....present. Oddly weighty. I am surprised I summoned the interest to type this much about this product...

Moderately bitter and sweet. More flash than substance. Tastes cheap but costs $$. Save your money. Belongs in the Molson/Labatt swill category.
