Sleeman Steam

Formerly brewed at Sleeman Brewing & Malting Co. (Sapporo)
Style: California Common
Guelph, Canada

A toughie. It does actually bear some steam beer character. But on the other hand, if this was your first steam beer you would get the impression that the style wasn’t worth drinking.

Cereals smell, typical Sleeman head that doesnt stay long. The taste is a little hoppy with a decent bitterness, very balanced overall, refreshing, a good commercial beer.

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.

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.

After so many great beers that I had lately this one smelled almost vulgar to my nose. Skunky , hint of grain and brown sugar .Hue of light orange tea . White head and small bubbles were present but they went away and bitter unrefined taste in my mouth stayed behind. Overall all maybe not as bad as I said but don’t bother to run in order trying this one.

Better than the widely available brands but nothing near the quality of the Anchor and Steam Whistle. Kind of plain...

Attractive light amber colour with rich head. Highly carbonated. Light hop aroma. Smooth with noticable hops and light citrus aftertaste. Above average palate. Decent enough beer but nothing remarkable stands out.

Citrus, malty smell. Copper colour, big foamy head. Malt flavour, followed with mild bitterness. Pleasantly sweet, ordinary.
