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.

This is basically your normal light lager mixed with a little bit of cream soda. Carbonation was a bit rough but the brew was decent. Not worth another purchase.

Isn’y very good. I felt it was overly carbonated rather than creamy. Very large head. Will not buy again.

...wasn’t that great at all, very disappointed, and I will never waste my money on this again. No creaminess here, just highly carbonated, and too light. Don’t waste your money.

500ml can from the LCBO. The production date is only about a month ago, so this should be somewhat fresh. Pours a nice pale gold with a large, rocky, white head. Aroma: Indistinct malts, grassy hops, very little going on. Taste: Surprisingly decent, actually like a real cream ale! Lots of grassy hops with some creamy sweet malts. I’m actually surprised by the drinkability since this is a Sleeman brew. It has the quintessential creamy mouth-feel of a true cream ale. It only loses a few points for some corniness in the flavour. The best Sleeman product I’ve had so far. Maybe they’re actually trying to make GOOD beer for a change? Probably not. This one gets worse as it warms though, losing points by the second.

Comes in 11.5 oz bottle. It is smooth going down, but there is a lack of flavor which makes it a moot point. It was something new at the international beverage store.

Pretty uneventful stuff here. Pale malts and a bit of dry spice toward the end. Light bodied. Somewhat fizzy. Has that distinctive macro industrial malt flavor going. Meh.

11.5 oz - 340 ml? - neither measure makes sense! Clear deep gold with a small but lasting, creamy head. Aroma is slight caramel apple and bitterish green herb. Flavor is a balanced struggle of lightly sweet apple and slight bittering herbs; would rate higher except for a sourish, industrial malt-adjunct twang that occasionally intercedes. Light medium body is smooth, with a fairly crisp finish. Not a great, but definitely underrated within the style.

Clear pour, decent sized whitish head. Light grassy hops and sweet aroma. Flavor has a bit more grain and a hint of vanilla. Meh.
