3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
I think this is one of the best macroLLs around. Very crisp and satisfying. A very complex and subtle medley to enjoy in the sun

can. Poured clear amber with a thinning white head. Aroma is overly sweet and grainy. Mouthfeel is light. Flavours of corn and light malt. No unnatural flavours. Better than I was expecting and beats out most macros.

UPDATED: SEP 3, 2011 Bouteille 341 ml. Cannette 355 ml. 4%. Couleur jaune paille. La meilleure lager light commerciale. Goûte plus que les autres. Quelqu’un qui doit boire de la light.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
473mL can from the LCBO. Pretty fresh. Pours a surprisingly deep gold for a light lager, with a small white fizz. Very carbonated-looking. Smells of basic grainy pale malts, a minor straw aspect as well, surprisingly less repulsive than one might expect. The flavour is nice mild sweet pale grainy malts with fizz and a tiny dry hop element in the finish. Geez, it’s like Sleeman finally decided to make something drinkable. No off flavours or apparent adjuncts, no Sleeman macro awfulness, just a mild and enjoyable lager on this fine hot almost-summer day.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Light amber with little head and slight lace. Aroma is faint yet decent, not the least offensive. Flavor was surprisingly non-light for a light beer. Rich barley malt and corn. The hops are present with slight citrus aftertaste. Palate is refreshing and crisp, not as watery as most light beers are. If I were to be given the choice to have any light beer I wanted, this one would definitely come to mind.

Blond color. Very light malt aroma. Weak mouthfeel, very light malt flavor; medium-low bitterness; weak and short final. Very close to water, but no off flavors.

2008-08-10. Very pale yellow, muted pale malt in the aroma and flavour. Flavour is surprising clean, though also not surprisingly bland. Average palate. Meh. Bottle, Toronto Festival of Beer

Originally rated November 2006. This is a newcomer in the province of Quebec... not too be confused with Sleeman Premium Light. This one is really a light swill. It pours a golden colour (surprisingly not too pale) with a white head that stays a bit and leaves decent lace. Heavy carbonation and strong nose of bitter/alcohol with some corn. Watery mouthfeel with a mild taste of corn. Not much else flavour. Their Premium Light was a huge step up from this. Too bad it is gone now.
