Sleeman Brewing & Malting Co. Railside Session Ale Session IPA at 4.2% ABV (C$3.10 at NLC Stavanger, 473 ml, bottle date 19-Apr-2016, acquired 19-Jun-2016, reviewed 12-Jul-2016)
Appearance: clear medium gold with two fingers of rocky off-white head, good retention and patchy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: grainy malt, grass, honey. (5/10) Taste: moderate sweet, mild bitter. (5/10) Medium-light body, lively carbonation, off-dry slightly metallic finish. (3/5)
Well, it’s a pretty-looking beer. And it’s not actually terrible. Yeah, that’s about all I’ve got. I mean, it pretty much smells and tastes like every other Sleeman product. Which, I guess, isn’t the worst possible outcome for a Session Ale – at least it doesn’t taste watered-down. (10/20)
