The aroma is honey, light fruits, grains, and herbal hops. The mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour starts sweet and grainy with notes of honey, and finishes with a mild bitter note. Not my favourite style, but a decent beer. |

713 | Taps Brewing Red Cream Ale | Canada | Cream Ale | 4.0
Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8 473ml can <br> 4.9% ABV <br> I tried this beer on May 9, 2008 after purchasing from the Queen's Quay LCBO outlet. The beer poured a beautiful translucent rusty red colour with some effervescence leading to a short-lived whitish head. The aroma was sweet malt, some fruit tones (I'm thinking plums), and a little hoppiness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, amply carbonated, and a little sour on the tongue. The flavour is no where near as fruity as the aroma. There is some sweet maltiness, some sourness in the middle, and slightly bitter finish. This beer suited my tastes quite well. |

714 | Sleeman Cream Ale | Canada | Cream Ale | 2.5
Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5 341ml bottle <br> 5.0% ABV <br> Bottling Date: Unknown<br> The Bookshelf Café (Guelph, Ontario, Canada)<br> June 8, 1991<br> $1.85<br> The first time I tried this beer, it was the only beer in the house. It wasn't that great. The second time I tried this beer, it was because I was a summer student with the brewery. It still wasn't that great. The company's flagship brand and liked by many of my friends, just not my glass of brew. I have to admit, the clear bottle is a very nice touch. The beer pours a light yellow colour (so the bottle isn't hiding anything) with a minimal head. The aroma is thick and hoppy, maybe too hoppy. This beer has way too much carbonation and is harsh on the cheeks. The taste is a mishmash of varying degrees..slightly malty, slightly grassy, slightly awful. |

The aroma was that of malts and fruits (apricotish). The mouthfeel is full-bodied, very smooth and crisp with a hint of carbonation. The taste is smooth with hints of yeast, malt and some sweetness and goes down very well. One of those beers that tastes better at the finish than it does at the beginning. Nothing overpowering. A very nice beer. |
