Why did they even bother? It is too bad, they have so many great beer - and to think that they have put out a beer which lacks so many of the great qualities that Sleeman is known for (body, after-tase, flavour).

Mild cereal malt aroma with mild flowery hops and mild fruitiness. Clear golden-amber with thin, fizzy, off-white head that recedes to cover. Lightly fruity with decent maltiness and gentle balancing bitterness. Medium light body with refreshing mouthfeel. This is actually a fairly drinkable beer if it’s not skunked. Bottle.

ended up skunky like alot os sleemans stuff, likely due to the clear bottle. pours orange with a small white head. not as good as the anchor steam I had before it.

UPDATED: DEC 20, 2003 Fantastically flavorful. Refreshing and smooth. Great on tap or out of the bottle- this beer is just plain good. I recommend a chilled glass- the cooler, the better.

Orange colour with a fizzy off-white head. Mostly skunky aroma, maybe a bit citrusy. Starts watery, then picks up a lingering, moderate, dry, stale bitterness. Medium bodied and smooth mouthfeel.

Cereals smell, typical Sleeman head that doesnt stay long. The taste is a little hoppy with a decent bitterness, very balanced overall, refreshing, a good commercial beer.

Omg, why can'nt i get any good beer. Not many difference with the silver creek ...Yeah its refreshing, but its nothing more.

After so many great beers that I had lately this one smelled almost vulgar to my nose. Skunky , hint of grain and brown sugar .Hue of light orange tea . White head and small bubbles were present but they went away and bitter unrefined taste in my mouth stayed behind. Overall all maybe not as bad as I said but don’t bother to run in order trying this one.
