Sleeman Amber Ale

Brewed by Sleeman Brewing & Malting Co. (Sapporo)
Style: Amber Ale
Guelph, Canada

Serve in English pint, Shaker

Nice honey flavor that lasts at least a little, a bit of tartness, maybe some brittle piney notes, slight bitterness at the finish.

Pours dark orange witha medium sized light tan head. Aroma of sticky alefruits, phenols, a bit medicinal with carboard caramel. Taste is a bit bland and buttery. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and slightly sticky with foamy carbonation.

Amber and clear with ample carbonation and a white, frothy head. Smells of butterscotch and shortbread. Light, slick, and acidic with light malt and hop prescence.

It is what it is. A simple, slightly watered down beer that is reasonably well balanced and refreshing

It’s good for the kind of beer it is. If you compare it to Ricards it is better. But if you compare to Boreal well just don’t because you loose.

Brown in with off brown head. Light toasted nose. Hints of brown sugar with a clean finish.

Yeah, this was okay. Like all of the other sleeman beers I’ve had, it is punched from the same mold with more character in the colour of the beer than anything else. Certainly among all the amber ales I’ve tried, it would occupy middle of the pack at very best, and that’s being generous.

One bottle from a variety pack. Labeled ’Dark Amber 50’. Brown with a thin tan head. Sweet malts body with a little bitter at the end. A fine Amber.
