Sleeman Honey Brown Lager

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

The flavor is far from bold, but it satisfies my basic requirement for a drinkable beer... just barely.

Pours a clear bright copper with a big foamy white lasting head and nice lacing. Aroma is subdued, sweet honey-fruity, some actual malt character and a bit vegetal. Flavor is lightly caramel sweet and a bit metallic. Watery thin, average carbonation.

355 mL can. Malty aroma. Pours a nice brown, with a kinda foamy/kinda creamy head that turns to a nice lacing. Malt taste with a definite honey presence. Dry finish. Pretty solid.

Nice rich color minimal head. Bland taste but a good honey finish. Just an overall lack of flavor.

In short: Superior macro brew. Bland but not offensive.
How: Bottle 341ml, fresh.
The look: Clear amber body with a very small beige head
In long: Nose is surprisingly acceptable with notes of tree bark and a little fruity honey. Malt base felt like corn syrup mixed in with caramel and honey. A bit sugary. Fruity notes of multi-fruits breakfast juice. A little barley candy flavour. A light woody hops presence. A little artificial/chemical feeling but only a little. Give it some more hops and it could have been quite ok. Certainly one of the best (less bad) macro beer I’ve had. Found that one in my fridge after having non-beer-geeks over. But all the pizza was gone. Bastards.

Not offensive in any way shape or form, the main problem is just it’s complete lack of any sort of attributes that give it any sort of character. I didn’t even get any of the honey flavoring. Maybe it was just an old bottle. Not bad just very average.

bouteille transparente de 341ml. belle couleur ambre foncée, nez de miel , de sucre et de malt, bouche ronde, agréable

From bottle. Sweet honey, slight skunky aroma. Amber/Maple in colour with a thin white head. Flavour is sweet, smooth. A lot of honey. Not much hops in it. I just get a very sweet lager.
