2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
[Taster – Portland Oregon, Spring Beer Festival]
A clean crisp yellow color with a nice aroma. This was a very drinkable beer and tasted great. Liked the light malts used and the hops where not too bad. I would have another if this was being served at a party.

Color of gold, sweet nose with light head. Flavor of sweet and sugar, finish very light and clean.

I’m surprised to see this as low as it is, not because it’s anything spectacular, but it’s not too bad. I can imagine it being the perfect beer to deep fry onion rings in. Otherwise, it’s something to pass on unless surrounded by standard macrobreweries.
I was a bit disappointed as I had Sleeman’s Porter on tap, which was quite good.

Bottle. High marks for the pleasant buttscotch aroma; sadly, the praise stops there. Unattractively pale, not-quite golden appearance. Extremely bland; does not taste like a cream ale at all. This will likely be one of my lower scores.
1.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 5/20
this beer is pale and crappy. very dissapponted and very sad that I have a variety 12 pack to finish. Hopefully the others will be better.
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
From the bottle, labeled a little differently than the picture (and capped with the "John Sleeman Presents" series): Poured yellow and still with a bit of a gluey head, but otherwise an uninviting look. This is awful corn-starchy and stark to hit the "cream ale" zone. Me thinks I’ve been sold a Labatts.
3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
$3.99 for a 6 pack of cans at OTTOS in Brown Deer, WI. on 03/11/06.
From some of these reviews I expected this to be a C- brew. I found it to be a solid B.
Pours an average color but with a rich, creamy, off-white head that lasts for the duration. Has a very nice, malty/creamy aroma, like cookie dough. Flavor is light & smooth, with a tad of bitterness. Not a hearty brew, but some good flavor. A great beer? NO! But much better than I had expected. I WILL be buying this again.
