I love Sleeman’s clear bottles. You don’t have to waste time pouring it in a glass to see the color.

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.

Do a taste test with this and the silver creek lager, eyes closed and everything. If you can tell the diff and name the beer properly, your a better man than i.

Its not bad, its very light but has the smooth characteristics of a good beer. Its still pricey, but what else can you expect from a steam beer?

An okay beer. Very clean finish with some flavor. Not the best of the Sleeman beers.

Not an offensive taste at all. Very Pleasing, with a smooth finish. Smelled some hops, nthing to call home to tell mother though.

UPDATED: MAR 15, 2007 Golden/Orangish appearance with a nice frothy head. A tasty steam but, sadly, it is no longer being brewed. A Sleeman’s insider told me that it was not catering to the ’mainstream taste’ and has been replaced by Sleeman Original Draft. It’s too bad because this beer was packed with a variety of lovely flavours. Creemore Springs or Headstrong Lager are the closest replacements I have found so far. Goodbye to a great beer :(

UPDATED: JAN 29, 2003 My favorite sleeman brew (brewed in guelph). Closest to style out of their beers. Slightly pungent with some of characteristic flavours found in the Standard for steam beers - anchor steam. OH yeah, keep the bottles out of direct sunlight or you will smell skunks in any of those stupid clear bottles.
