Brewed in copper kettles, Sleeman Silver Creek Lager is a new-world take on a traditional European pilsner. Its prominent hop character and balanced malt sweetness produce a clean finish, golden colour, and ample foam collar.

Meilleure que ce à quoi je m’attendais... Elle est très sucrée et il y a une odeur de métal rouillé un peu étrange pour une bière ;(

Canette 355ml. Couleur jaune pâle translucide, mousse blanche fugace. Arôme de maïs, céréales, un brin herbal. Goût de maïs, plus elle se réchauffe plus le goût devient étrange. Carbonatation moyenne, corps moyen faible.

This is a beer I use to buy a lot for the back deck, summer 2005, when I had people over. Pours a clean light golden colour with a white head that is average and has a bit of lacing. The nose is quite malty, semi-sweet and grainy. Semi-creamy mouthfeel (and was quite refreshing, straight from the ice and water, on those warm summer nights). A nice blend of the malt with a slight hoppy attack in the finish. Nothing spectacular, but a better-than-average lager that will please most none beer drinkers.

Boring little styrofoam white head, boring bright gold body. Aroma of fermented particle board and swamp water. Flavour is all rice adjuncts with an alcoholic and hoppy finish. This stuff tastes like a malt liquor and it’s only 5%! Congratulations Sleeman, you took a very reliable below-average formula and managed to make it worse!

Bouteille 341ml. De couleur dorée et claire. Nez de grains de malt pâle sucrés avec des notes de houblon herbeux et des traces de pain. Mince-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-fort et un peu croustillant ainsi qu’une texture aux faibles notes crémeuses. Goût de grains de malt pâle lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute rapidement un goût de grains plus sucrés avec de faibles notes de pain puis en finale l’on retrouve des notes amères de houblon herbeux (gazon mouillé) ainsi que des traces métalliques. Post-goût court et aux petites notes asséchantes, avec de faibles notes amères de houblon herbeux.

Bottle. Pale beer with a light head. The aroma is malty and lightly hopped and the flavour is very dry in a concentrated chemical way. Overall a poorish beer.

2004 bottle. Pours a urine-like yellow with a small fizzy white head. Aroma of sour corn and light alcohol notes. Some paint thinner and some sharp notes of something. Extra light body and vigorous overcarbonation. Flavor of corn and some bitter something (perhaps hops?) Not much to speak about.

Bottle: Poured a clear golden colored beer with almost no head or carbonation. Aroma is quite skunky, which surprised me since I pick what I thought, was a fresh batch. Aroma is quite weak as expected. Taste is also quite weak with limited malt and again that skunky feel coming out. Still a mystery why they bother using a clear bottle.

Light gold colour. Not a whole lot of aroma, just a sort of pale malt/grainy thing. Not a bad grainy, mind you, just a whole grain, crunchy malt I guess is what I’m trying to say. It’s fairly smooth, with an even balance between light pale malt and light fruity hops. Carbo is low, too. Sweetish - certainly not a pilsner - and lacks the distinct hop aroma that it had when I first tasted it...what, ten years ago now? I’d view it as a Stella competitor - a good pale lager but still a pale lager.
