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.

I dont know what it is, but I did like this. Lots of sour molasses, some bittersweet caramel malt. Tastes like adjuncts as well, but not terribly so. Interesting light breadiness on the finish. Clear reddish-amber color. small head, alcohol and sweet malt smell. Grainy texture, lightly carbonated.

No head whatsoever. Smells of the tap water i used to clean my glass with damp grass. Taste: Perrier has more taste than this beer....and its cheaper!

Amber in colour with a nice thin off-white head. Sweet aroma with a bit of malt. Medium-bodied; A bit sweet in the taste. Some honey flavour, but not much. Subtle aftertaste, a bit of malt no hops and almost no sweetness. Overall, not a good beer, but that shows some more flavour than the style usually has. Worth trying if you liked Dundee's Honey Brown. I had this 20 ounce pint served via draught at MacGregor's in Rochester, New York.

Very pale with a bleached white head. Little aroma but maybe wheaty, lemony. Light body. Faint wheat note. Bland, with a quick, somewhat wet finish.
