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.

Grainy, honeyish aroma. Malty flavor with ahorn syrup and caramel. Low on bitterness, but not too bad. Like a Franconian dunkel that has been to the plastic surgeon and forgot to speak with a Bavarian accent.

Somewhat chalky, grainy aroma. Grainy, somewhat medecinal flavor with the slightest touch of grassy hops.

Part of their Beers of Summer 12-pack for 2019. Pours a clean light-golden colour with a frothy-foamy cap, decent retention and a tad of lacing. Smells like a pilsner with the mild skunk aromas and hints of spicy hops. Honey and malts form the base. The hops show up more in the taste, making it refreshing with the light dryness. This helps makes things not too sweet, and not syrupy at all. Quite a refreshing Summer Ale, that I would buy a 12-pack of just this one for those hot summer days.

Pours a clean slightly-darker amber colour with a frothy-creamy beige head, good stay and some very nice lace. Aromas of freshly grounded coffee over roasted, caramel and fruity malts. Seems like this will be sweet, but the hops help this not be that way. Coffee notes, chocolate, roasted malt and good bitterness and dryness in the finish. Quite a decent coffee ale.

Bottle: Poured a clear light brown color ale with a small foamy head with limited retention. Aroma of light caramel malt with subtle coffee flavours is OK. Taste is also a mix of faint coffee flavours with some light caramelized malt with a dry finish. Body is light with good carbonation. Not great but not bad either and probably one of the best Sleeman beer that I have tried.
