Sleeman Honey Brown Lager

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

The bees that worked their butts off to produce the honey for this beer are probably ashamed to admit any involvement. I’m almost ashamed to have purchased it.

Not much head or aroma to speak of from this one. Clean crisp flavor with hint of honey and smooth finish. Not heavy at all, enjoyable.

12 oz bottle. Totally clear dark honey color, huge fluffy dying head. Light malty nose. Discernible honey in flavor, quite light and smooth, no hops that I could detect. Quaffable and reasonably enjoyable, just a bit sticky...better than average for the brewer and the sub-style, I suppose.

I was very impressed with this beer. Lot’s of flavor and lots of aroma. Very tasty and for 2 bucks a bottle at the bar I couldn’t go wrong. It got me laid in Fazoli’s parking lot also so I can’t complain!

Nice aroma and amber color. Zero head or close too it. Good balance of hops and malt with the sweet finish. The honey thins it out a bit though, and overall the beer is a bit on the light side. Occasionally the bottles I’ve tasted have had an off taste, perhaps because of the clear bottle.

A great example of a smooth brown lager. Aroma is nice. Beer finishes with a touch of honey.

Grainy aroma with mild honey character. Clear amber-brown with thin white fully diminishing head. Sweet, somewhat grainy flavour. Mouthfeel is rather calm. Uninspiring but not terrible. Bottle (clear).

Probably the best of the Sleeman line, smells drinkable and finishes with hints of honey. not too bad.
