"20th Anniversary Ale? This could have been brewed to celebrate the purchase of a box of no-name Kraft Dinner. A marketing ploy that will only lower my thoughts on the over rated beers produced by Sleeman.
Stunk right from the get go. Poured out a clear amber brew with a small white cap that retains only clinging to the rim. Smells like some cheap crap out of a can that would cost less than a buck. Wet grass, sweet, apples, some decent barley. The taste was also a let down: Sour, unpleasant bitterness, outright drying effect. Pretty much totally unpleasant without being a total loss. Good thing this bottle was given to me."

"Clear bottle just like all the sleeman’s brews, don’t know why but I like there bottle design. Mild skunk aroma coming from the beer smoke. Crystal clear copper body with a thin white film floating on top. Grassy, malty aroma with more hops then the normal Sleeman beers. Some apple is also in the aroma, it reminds me of a weaker version of a Euro lager. Taste is also Euro like but milder. Melon tasting hops, corn, hony, and old bready malts make up the flavor brew has a metallic finish. Beer has enough flavor to be interesting and light enough to be easy drinking but it just a plain old everyday beer what I think is a strange choice for an anniversary beer."

[3] Review by Chopz from Cantley, Canada who has tried this beer once. (6/24/2008 12:51:30 AM)
"First new brew from Sleeman since Sapporo bought them. 20 years of brewing... oh yeah !! Let's see... pours a golden-orange colour with a big off-white head, that actually stays up a while. The lacing is pretty sticky too. The nose starts off fresh and malty, and turns into hop. Mouthfeel is a mix between watery and syrupy. The taste seems really on the corn side. A little hoppy finish, but nothing exciting... especially for an anniversary brew."

[4] Review by myke from Canada who has tried this beer many times. (5/15/2008 6:34:20 PM)
"Much, much better out of the glass than the bottle. Out of the glass, it's merely average and drinkable. Out of the bottle the ratings would be: Aroma - 4 and smells like piss. Appearance - 5. Mouthfeel - same. And as I said, taste is abominable out of the bottle. Overall, i this is one of Sleeman's poorest brews.It's like a poor man's Amsterdam Blonde. Sleeman - a "premium" brewer that brews swill that thinks it's premium."
