0.5 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20
Swillfest ’04: It is clear, with barely any yellow at all. Slighty grassy, metallic aroma. Very wet and artificial-tasting, like the added icing sugar after pasteurization to beef up the body. It’s like creamy water with the aftertaste of peanuts.

No head whatsoever. Smells of the tap water i used to clean my glass with damp grass. Taste: Perrier has more taste than this beer....and its cheaper!

Of all of the low carb beers I tasted, this might be the best. I should stress however that this is the best of some very bad beers. Very pale watery colour. Some hops present in the nose, but very faint. Can taste corn adjuvants. AVOID!
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Low carb beer. Very different, Dry, little taste. A light sample of hops. Good for cooking, passable for drinking on a hot day instead of a soda. Very light color, almost water with a bit of foam and bubbles.

Bottle. Ordered this because all but three of the tap lines at The Madison in Toronto were FROZEN in this minus 35 with the windchill weather. Not awful... Flavour is water and light as expected. Not much worse than any other light beer. What's the point really?

It pours a clear limpid yellow NOT necessarily NOT alike toilet water after relieving one's bladder. Aroma is reminiscent of a prodigious baby skunk with obvious defense potential. The taste is another story though, it's a complex mixture from the most distinct and unattainable sources of waters from 8 specific islands hidden to humanity until John Sleeman had a dream which revealed him the tremendous potential of their sacred water. Stuff of legend. Welcome to the top 10!

Well one thing is for sure: The beer is definitely clear. Light yellow-gold color with a thin and immediately gone white head. No lacing at all. The aroma is corny and a tad skunked. Soda-water body without much going on flavor-wise except some corn and off-flavored hops. The finish is clean and flavorless. I hope the other Sleeman beers are better than this.
1.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
Pale gold, decent size head (good job Josh). Celery, garden vegetable like malt. Very light, thin body, finishing with some grassy notes with touch of citric fruit.

Bottle (341ml - clear). My second low-carb "beer" in as many days - at least Molson Ultra comes in a brown bottle. Poured pale fizzy yellow with a big foamy industrial soap-looking bright white quick diminishing head. The bubbles never stopped. What aroma there is reminded me of ivory soap, with sweet ’n low and corn starch added. Taste - there is none - fizzily grainy, watery, nothing. I was thirsty, it was a beautiful sunny day on my balcony, and I still hated it. Better than the Molson Ultra though ...
