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.

Bottle from LCBO. Golden lager with a thick collapsing white head. Light corny sulfuric aroma. In mouth, rather sweet fruity taste, not all that bad, just plain boring.

Bottle: Poured a clear amber looking ale with a tiny bubbly white head with below standard retention. Aroma of hops is clearly present with some sweet malt. Taste is dominated by the golding hops with a way too discreet malt presence. Hops presence is definitely too low for my taste in IPA but I’ve seen a lot worse from Sleeman.

Pour is a yellow with a white head. Aroma is the same as a pale lager. Nothing to write home about there. Flavor is not much or even worse. Little bready with some hops showing up is about it. Pretty poor. Cream ale my ass!

Pour is a clear cola like brown with no head. Aroma is hard to detect but it was a strange chemical smell. Not very good. Flavor is nothing to write home about. Some choco and malt but all is very weak. Prob the worst porter i have ever had.

Pour is a brown with a small tan head. Aroma is a small amont of malts. Flavor is about the same, a small amount of malts and not much else. Pretty watery and bland.

One on my least favorite breweries, but slighlty better than most of their offerings. Not a lot of flavor, a lightly roasted profile, not much else

Light amber, small white head. Lightlyly malty beery nose.Somewhat antiseptic light hop profile.Medium length, late arriving hop finish. Not good, but certainly the best effort from this poor brewery.

Goden ale with a thcik off white head, resilient and lasting. Upon opening this wonder, putrid skunk comes out. Faint malts and light hops come out in glass. In mouth, clean caramel malt with very faint hops, and notes of formaldehyde comming in retro-olfaction. Sad IPA.

Pour is a light orange with a large white head. Aroma floral and pine. Flavor is hoppy with enough malt to round out the balance. About avreage in all qualities for an IPA but worth a try.

Not bad. Black, and a light malt aroma. Flavor is lightly roasted malt and burned popcorn. There is a good-sized head, and medium body.
