Dec 27, 2004 Pale amber beer with a thick white head, fading quickly to nothing. Caramel aroma, pale malt and a bit of grassiness. Flavour is okay, caramel, malt, and a touch of hoppy bitterness. Slightly dusty with noticable steam beer characteristeristics.

Nov 28, 2004 341ml clear bottle. Amber orange beer with a nice rocky white cap. Fruity malt and mineral aroma. Good malt flavour for Sleeman’s, and also a hint of bitterness in the finish.

Oct 15, 2004 One of the better Sleeman offerings. The body is darker than the lager but the taste is quite similar but perhaps a little sweeter.

Aug 5, 2004 The orange colour is all that distinguishes this beer from other Sleemans products. It’s light in the body, with a slightly malty flavor and a minerally finish. There was some skunkiness as well due to the clear bottle.

Jun 28, 2004 An inviting amber colour with a touch of burgundy. The reserved nose shows mostly malt, but there’s a touch of milk chocolate in the background – overall quite rich. Much like the nose, the flavours are pretty laid back and, especially disappointing, none of the expected fruitiness associated with a steam beer. However, there’s a pleasant, silky palate and excellent balance between bitter hops and high-quality malt. Below expectations but a good brew nonetheless.

Jun 20, 2004 Light copper in colour. Aroma was light with some grain, malts, and skunk. Flavour was also quite light, some hops and some malt. Lightish body and a quick finish.

May 22, 2004 Why did they even bother? It is too bad, they have so many great beer - and to think that they have put out a beer which lacks so many of the great qualities that Sleeman is known for (body, after-tase, flavour).

May 18, 2004 Mild cereal malt aroma with mild flowery hops and mild fruitiness. Clear golden-amber with thin, fizzy, off-white head that recedes to cover. Lightly fruity with decent maltiness and gentle balancing bitterness. Medium light body with refreshing mouthfeel. This is actually a fairly drinkable beer if it’s not skunked. Bottle.
