Description
We’ve always relied on our wits to give us an edge. We tried things others wouldn’t and refused to let being smaller keep us from thinking big. To become masters of our craft, we had to be pretty darned crafty. This spirit is at the heart of everything we do—and in every drop we brew.

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.

341 ml bottle. Pours a clear light amber colour with a thin off-white head. Sweet aroma of malt, caramel and honey. Sweet flavour to match aroma with a slight bitterness in the finish. Light body with watery texture and soft carbonation.

This one poured a clear amber colour with a nice, bright white head. Scents include very light eggs, very light vinegar... Maybe a little malt? First swig was quite watery with a med/low carbonation. Flavours of light malt, water, even lighter hop... Finish is a little malty with a very dismal flavour lingering.

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.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Not to much of a honey taste, which is a good thing. It’s OK.

Had a sip of the last end of a bottle of this that had been sitting there for a while, but if anything that would probably add to the overall experience of this one. Papery and gross. Foul aftertaste. Cant wait to try the sleeman clear now - must be a real gem.

Dark golden colour. Strong malt aroma and taste. Quite a lot of caramel, not a lot of hop. Slightly rough feel but not a bad drink. It’s just not value for money when buying in the UK.

Draft. Light golden body. Frothy off-white head. Moderate aroma of toasted grain, hay, corn. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Thin to medium body, watery texture, fizzy carbonation. Sweet fizzy taste with notes of grass and a bit of vegetable. Meh.
