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.

Funny how I always seem to not bother to rate with meh to crappy beers. But with this I’ll try to fix that. Pours golden with white head that dissipates rather quickly. Smells of malts and grains. Tastes of malts, a little bitterness, not a lot else. It’s beer, and you could drink it by the bucket, but really why would you want to. Rating: Meh.

Dziwne piwo. spotkałem się pierwszy raz z tym gatunkiem. dziwna mieszanka piwa ale z lagerem, a więc dolna fermentacja miesza się z górną. Niezbyt mi pasuje aż tak drastyczne połączenie.

Bottle from Appellation Wines. Pours golden with lazy bubbles and a decent head. The nose isn’t good - struck match, cloying and sugary. The taste is like burnt pizza and there are notes of creamy and honey - again it’s cloying. The palate has a medium body and texture but not a clean finish, at all. Overall, this is worse than a beer that tastes of nothing - it tastes of something and it’s unpleasant.

Lee Garden ($5): Pours a golden colour with a light head. Aroma is lightly malty and sugary. Taste is kind of sweet. Definitely there are a few off notes. I can’t say that this beer doesn’t have flaws liek some sessions, as this one does. It really isn’t worth drinking except to try it (Which would have happened years ago if I had been able to smuggle that 12 pack back to the US when I was underage...).
