Smooth Sleeman Honey Brown Lager is brewed in the tradition of cottage breweries at the turn of the century. Some might think the tradition is outdated; we just think we got it right the first time.

this beer is great!
Crisp. getting apple on it- granny smith… lovely. Very drinkable . I hate carbonation in any beer. Give me a dry lager… but this flavour is amazing.

Sleeman Brewery 'Honey Brown Lager' @ 5.2% , served from 3x 355 ml can's part of Sleeman Selections mix pack
A-pour is gold from the can to a clear amber in the glass with a medium size white head leaving a spotty lace along the pint
S-hints of honey , brown sugar
T-sweet starting honey lager , clean with a bit to much water (not crisp) not enough craft
MF-ok carbonation , (weak) medium body
Ov-drank a lot of these in the late 80's early 90's when Sleeman re-opened in 1988

Clear amber with a medium but fizzy head. Sweet honey & corn nose. Sweet, light body. High, high carbonation. Not a fan.
