Sleeman Cream Ale

Bottle. Pale/golden beer with a good smooth white head. The aroma is sweet with a dry finish, and the flavour is quite smooth and very dry with a tang. Overall not as bad as the average ratings suggest.

Largely malt sweetness undercut unfortunately by the prominent corn adjunct flavors. Decent creamy mouthfeel and unusually high carbonation helped distract my full attention from the unfortunate flavors. All in all not very much fun.

Pas vraiment une bière crèmeuse, un goût o.k. mais trop légé pour une ale. Pas imposante mais buvable.

Bottle: Vibrant straw, clear, large rocky white head, mild carbonation, spotty lacing.   Pale malt nose, slightly grassy, touch of creamed honey.   Grass and cardboard on the tongue.   Very light sweetness.   Fairly clean finish, at least its very unoffensive.   Body and mouthfeel are average, but don’t much feel like a Cream Ale.   Boring overall...

Bottle. Pale gold with a slim white head. Sweet malt and corn aroma. Taste is better than the aroma promises some malt, light hops, highly carbonated, somewhat acidic. It reaches the dizzy heights of "I’ve had worse".

Tap @ Hop Devil. Clear yellow with a creamy white head. Aroma is light corn juice, not a good sign. Taste is not horrible, which is better than I thought. Mouthfeel is absolutly smooth, not too sweet. Lightly hopped.

Cram Ale: The Sleeman flagship beer? Flagship for one of the crappies Navy’s on earth! Lets start with the clear bottle… Novel but not practical; my home refrigerator light is going to skunk these beers! However no need to worry, this beer was already skunked.
The aroma is not good! Skunky sweet corn, hint of butterscotch, lemon. The flavor is almost non-existent; seriously, it’s like sweetened seltzer water with a hint of cereal. Palate: thin and watery…. Overall: Really bad, I poured it out, and now I have to find 3 people to drink my remaining bottles.

The aroma is pretty much sweet malt and a little skunky. The appearance is golden with a light orange hue. The flavor is very malty and moderately bitter. it has some citrus and rubbing alcohol that don’t seem to belong. The aftertaste is sweet and vegetal. The palate is not exactly creamy but still smooth. Overall it’s drinkable but seems low quality.
