COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Remarkably smooth for a full-flavoured beer. Our founder’s intention was to combine the refreshing taste of a German lager with the distinctive taste of an English Ale without blending the two.

Bottle, brought back by vacationing friend. Pours a light gold with a quickly disapating inch thick head. Aroma is a little sour. Very bitter initial sip, but the aftertaste mellows quickly with the malt. Not a bad beer, but nothing that would send me to Canada to get more of.

Are we talking about the same beer here? Mine was draft ... no idea what they actually gave me. Big and dark and almost red ... with a huge creamy mouth feel. Lightly hopped, non-distinct malt. Nothing obnoxious or skunky, nothing distinctive except the great reddish color and the wonderful creamy feel.

Clear gold colour with thin fast fading white head. Sour bread yeast nose. Sour bread yeast taste with smooth malt finish.

porterdude (170) - Bellingham, Washington, USA - AUG 22, 2005
UPDATED: AUG 23, 2005 Bottle. A light corn colored ale. Smells of skunks and adjuncts. Taste at first is quit assualting. Big skunky flavor at first subsiding into a rather "smooth" and non threatening aftertaste. Its like this beer decides to kick your taste buds butts and then make up for it on the way down.

Sammy (5888) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 1, 2005
Ok because of creamy taste/mouthfeel but nowhere near a Creemore. Dry, crisp. Better than mediocre national brands, of which Sleeman is now #3. Oily taste with cream, like a latte. Ok pour. Dried out my mouth.

OhioDad (2491) - Hilliard, Ohio, USA - JUL 31, 2005
12oz bottle - from the sampler -Pours pale golden with a decent sized white fluffy head. Aroma is of corn, grain, a touch of caramel. Flavor is about the same. A slightly sour aftertaste lingers unpleasantly. On the palate this is light and watery. Definitely not their best brew.
