Sleeman Honey Brown Lager

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

Darker golden color. Some honey, a bit of malt. Short finish, lots of carbonation. Better than the other Sleemans I've had, which isn't saying much.

Thick and heavy. Taste gets old quickly. Not bad for a honey-brown. Flavor LINGERS for HOURS. You will feel this beer in your belly- there is substantial weight.

I dont know who thought of the honey brown concept first, Sleeman or Genesee, but whatever the case, they taste very similar, which is to say, DISGUSTING. I didnt even bother finishing, just poured it out. Stale nasty bitter flavor. Malt liquor flavor abounds, cereal grade malt. Cardboard, tangy sour butter. clear, bubbly, no head. Sour, sharp alcohol and cereal aroma.

Starts off smooth but finishes with a bitter aftertaste. Not one of the best Honey Lagers i've had. Good Aroma with a distinct flavour to it. Found it didn't have much a honey flavour to it. But, it's one of better beers made by Sleeman.

This beer has a distinct and enjoyable sweet flavour, but lacks any truly interesting taste.

I don't know how this beer is rated so high. It shouldn't be. No better than Macro JW dundees Honey Brown.

Sweet and malty aroma. This has too much carbonation - it interferes with what I expected to be a smooth and sweet lager. Maybe give the bottle a shake to release some of the bubbles! Once you get past that, the taste is toasty with a line of honey down the center of the tongue. Finish is relatively short - the honey went away nice and quickly (I'm not a big fan of that cloying syrupy taste). Not bad, but not something I'd go out searching for.

Honey colored with a thin rapidly disappearing head. Skumky and minerally smelling. Generally a metallic tasting beer with a touch of nuttiness. A watery thin texture. Sad finish. A large disappointment. Very hard to finish.
