Commercial Description:
A refreshingly smooth, full-bodied lager, with a subtle touch of all natural honey which creates a slightly sweet finish.

Pours a golden copper colour with minimal white head. Sweet malt aroma, follows through to the inital taste, a bit of honey detected. Ends with a slight hop aftertaste. Not a bad effort.

Thanks to the clear bottle, the colour is obvious even before pouring...a coppery amber tone. Maintains a decent white fluffy head which provides nice lacing. Hoppy aroma and taste, but a clean finish. Not a ton of honey present, but in terms of lagers (which I generally don’t drink) this is a good as they probably get. Very drinkable and a popular beer among my beer drinking friends.

A decent American dark. Not the most flavorful but perfect on a hot summer day when the taste buds want to be refreshed, yet want something darker and more malty than the usual summer beer. Aroma was a bit weak. Could pick up some caramel and sweet toffee but faint. Pour was a nice clear dark amber with a one finger off white head. Taste was not too heavy and crisp and refreshing. Strong carbonation with not much flavor coming through, but a nice roasted malt and caramel aftertaste. Not bad.

Love the bottle, pours dark with a decent head. Perfect amount of sweetness not over powering. I find it to be a bit on the heavy side but a great beer nonetheless.

49p a bottle in my local offy, thought I’d give it a try. I don’t like honey, didn’t care for this beer much. Malty, oatmeal, drinkable but will probably never try it again.

clear orange- yellow colour with a thin white head. small carbonation, tiny bubbles but heavily malted (in my opinion.) semi sweet, honey flavor is pretty noticeable but kind of stale. sorry, but sleeman brews don’t really excite me.
