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.

Rot-braunes Bier, nette Krone. Ein definitiv sehr leckeres Lager. Man kennt Lager oft als recht langweilige und sich ähnelnde Biersorte, diese hier sticht deutlich heraus. Malzig-süß, ein leichter Honig Ton lässt sich erkennen. Leicht herb und imernoch klebrig-süß ist das Bier im Mittelteil. Dazu ist es leicht würzig, es scheint allerdings so, als würde das Bier noch deutlich stärker werden. Doch der Schein trügt, das Bier erscheint eher etwas alkoholisch, was sich aber noch in einem Rahmen befindet, in dem es keine negativen Auswirkungen auf den Geschmack hat. Durch die feinen aber deutlichen Aromen, die das Lager von anderen unterscheidet, kann das Bier punkten. Auch die Süffigkeit ist ganz oben anzusiedeln. Sehr nett, wirklich sehr nett. Test vom 29.11.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,13,12,10,12,12 - 11,55

Bottle. Part of Sleeman sampler. Pours golden, looks very much like a lager. Not much aroma on pour. Taste is decent, though lacking the big hop taste of a lot of IPA’s. Some bitter on the finish.

Bottle, part of a Sleeman sampler. Pours deep brown. Not much taste for a porter, though body was OK. I get roast flavors and a lot of carbonation. Best of the Sleeman sampler, but that really is not saying much.

Bottle. Had this as part of Sleeman sampler pack. Pours golden, a bit of a sharp aroma. Can taste malt, and certainly corn. An average beer for certain.

This IPA poured ayeloow colour with a not too bad white head. To the nose it reminded me of alot of eastern europian beers I’ve had. Heavcy malt scent with a slice of metal. First sip was slightly hoppy with a watery aftertaste and a little hop on the palate to finish. Not too bad but a little boring

US bottle, Sleeman IPA 46*. Pours a pale copper color, but with a big creamy head and medium lacing. Initially a nice front of spicy hops and buttery malts, sort of like an over-hopped kolsch. Medium sweet and bready, with light herbal and spicy hops. Finish is balanced and dry. Really a pale ale in my book (not that it matters really, the beer is merely OK).

Sampler at a beer tasting at Binny’s, Orland Park. I found this to be pretty nice "snack" beer. Light in color and body, of course, but crisp, with a bit of lemon amoung its pale malts.
