Nose has butter, vanilla and malt...quite un-expected! Sweet malt and light hops and distinct wheat. A distinct "cream" feel on the palate, more than most, well done. A touch too carbonated. Basic stuff all-around but quite drinkable!

Dec 29, 2009 Drinkable, but there’s something wrong with the taste for me, I just found it artificial. I’ve avoided it since.

Dec 21, 2009 Bouteille 341ml. De couleur dorée et claire. Nez de grains de malt sucrés avec des traces de caramel, léger de maïs sucré avec des notes de houblon herbeux et des traces de légumes bouillis. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et aux notes croustillantes ainsi qu’une texture très légèrement huileuse et aux petites notes crémeuses. Goût de grains de malt pâle sucrés accompagné de notes de légumes bouillis sucrés lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute des notes de maïs sucré et des traces de biscuit au caramel puis en finale l’on retrouve une très légère amertume de houblon herbeux (gazon et herbes mouillées). Post-goût moyen-court, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux avec des traces de légumes bouillis.

Oct 14, 2009 Bottle - pours a light yellow. Mild hops and grain in flavour. Quite bland, but better than the average macro beer.

Sep 30, 2009 Good stuff to pick up at the liquor store on your way to the summer cabin, very drinkable, kind of a decent flavour, but easily forgettable. A cut above the low-end brews however, and a good choice when you need to polish off a case quickly.

Sep 27, 2009 Light hop aroma. Light gold color with a decent, white, firm head. Very clean, fresh, yeast profile and a refreshing spritzy carbonation. Light to medium body without the astringent complaint I’ve read of elsewhere, nor was the flavor of corn dominant. This was a thirst-quenching summer beer that we drank well-iced and that accompanied well, grilled food (which we had much of, vacationing by a lake).
The distinctive clear bottle encourages the light-struck skunkiness several reviewers describe (I suspect), though our 12-pack was quite fresh (and you can’t miss it when a beer turns skunky). Sleeman’s should rethink the bottle since they can’t control storage and transport. I’d take this over any of the large American brewery offerings.
