With origins dating back to the 1800s, Sleeman Cream Ale is the brew that helped relaunch a brewery. Found on page 64 of the original Sleeman recipe book, it’s made from a variety of imported hops and combines the easy-drinking nature of a lager with the rich fruit character of an ale. You’ll notice a slight aroma of pear or apple in this medium-bodied, well-balanced ale.

355ml can. Pours a clear gold with a thin, fizzy, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Mild sweet aroma of grainy pale malt, corn and floral hops. Sweet flavour of grainy pale malt, corn and grassy hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Not really getting cream ale here, just another basic macro lager. Pretty boring.

Can from Beers of Europe. Gold with a white head and a lot of fizz. Looks like a macro lager if I’m honest. There’s a brief moment of brightness up front - a little twist of lemon and a bit of vanilla- but it all too quickly descends into fizzy, metallic sweetcorn juice. There’s a tiny hint of grassy hop in the background, but not enough to distract from what is a pretty dreadful beer.

355ml can shared with jeevan, cheers (I think!) Pours clear gold, thin white head. Grain and metal aromas. Taste is lager-like, more metal, astringent finish. Not great.

Can from Marche 54. A pale cream with a big fluffy head of foam that leaves great lacing. Cream and light biscuit and fruity sweet. The beer has a medium body and a malty sweet flavor with some cream soda notes. A solid light beer.
