Sleeman Brewing & Malting Co. Cream Ale Cream Ale at 5% ABV (C$2.14 at NLC Stavanger, 341 ml, no bottle date or best before)
Appearance: clear straw with one finger of fluffy white head, good retention and no lacing. (3/5) Aroma: biscuity malt, corn adjunct, faded grassy hops. (4/10) Taste: mild sweet, mild bitter. (4/10) Light body, moderate carbonation, medium duration slightly astringent and metallic finish. (2/5)
Mostly inoffensive – although the finish actually is, a little. Really, just your basic pale domestic lager, with only the faintest of nods to the cream ale style. (4/10)
