2004 bottle. Pours a clear pencil-yellow. Small white head and quite bubbly. Aroma of sweet corn syrup. Flavor was surprisingly not disgusting and I was able to finish this one quite easily. It actually does have a soft creamy texture and is not sickeningly sweet. Hops are apparent, another surprise. Light, but apparent. Pretty decent for a cream ale, of course, having only Genny Cream ale to judge by, anything would taste better. 5/2/7/3/13
2005 draught at Mondial, 6/4/05. Golden and clear, white bubbly head recedes to cover. Smells and tastes like metal. Bitter something, light unripened nectarines comes to mind, but that’s an insult to nectarines. No sweetness. Corn in the aroma? No lacing, lots of metal on the end. Very watery, bad. 3/2/3/2/6

This Dark poured a nice dark red colour with a light tan creamy head. Metallic malt scents with a little caramel. First taste was very easy going. Roasted malts with a little brown sugar. Finish was slightly bitter with not much lingering. The bitterness was the only taste left.

This one pours a light yellow colour with not much of a brite white head. Smells really bland.Slight scent of hops and malt. First taste wasn't too bad with a watery/hoppy taste. Finish was smooth due to the watery flavour and ended slightly bitter. Alright...I guess?!

Pours a dark brown with a white head. Roasted malts and citrus with a little toffee scents. First taste had more roasted malts with a slight coffee flavour. Slightly sweet but really smooth. Great amount of roasted flavour even if it is a little watery. Palate was clean and it left behind only a nice roasted flavour. Very good!

The last time I had this beer it was terrible, so I thought I'd give it another chance.. This one poured amazingly clear with a light copper body and a bright white head. Aromas consisted of caramel malts and citrus with floral notes. Initial sip was somewhat flat. Moderatly bitter start to a flat finish with perfumey flavours on the palate to finish. This one wasn't much better than the last time I had it...I give up!

It's been so long since I've poured beer from a clear bottle! In case I forgot to notice the clear bottle, the skunky aroma helped highlight the experience. Has the "fizzy yellow" appearance, although Sleeman is slightly darker than most domestic lagers. The body is actually somewhat flavorful, although there are is a metallic harshness that is competing with the sweet malts and light hops. Not horrendous, but I suspect another bottle or two would really wear on me.

Pours a average frothy head with a yellow body. Initial aroma reminded me of a manure farm. That thank god was gone in seconds. The scent then came to me in a smell of grain and a slightness of wine and citrus. Very clean aroma. Initial taste had a sharp flavour to it. Tasted grainy and refreshing. Dry finish with a clean slightly bitter palate. Great for summer.

Pours a medium copper. with a creamy light brown head. The aroma is a combination of a light malt with toasted grain notes. Slightly sugary but couldn't find the maple. Initial tasting found a soft carbonation with a moderate sugar / malt taste. I found it hard to find the maple in this one, but I have tasted it before in this beer. The flavour finish had a moderate sweetness trailing to a almost oily bitter end. Medium bodied finish with a creamy texture...sugary malt.

I dont know who thought of the honey brown concept first, Sleeman or Genesee, but whatever the case, they taste very similar, which is to say, DISGUSTING. I didnt even bother finishing, just poured it out. Stale nasty bitter flavor. Malt liquor flavor abounds, cereal grade malt. Cardboard, tangy sour butter. clear, bubbly, no head. Sour, sharp alcohol and cereal aroma.
