Sleeman Spiced Ale from Sleeman Breweries bought a 12 mix pack for 14,99$
Look: Red/brown color. A little cloudy. 1 finger of white head that goes away.
Smell: Malt, ginger, a touch of spices on the background.
Taste: Caramel, ginger, spices, pepper, bread, hops, punpking.
Feel: Light to medium body, medium carbonation, fine bubble, goes down really easy,
So overall would I recommend it? Of course, this is a solid beer especially during Autumn. Watching the leafs falling down and drinking this beer was a good moment. Very nice beer Sleeman !

341 mL bottle included in their latest mixed six-pack; the token 'seasonal brew' for this round. Bottled Sept 8 2016, assuming I remember how to read macro date codes properly, and served slightly chilled.
Pours a clear, copper-reddish colour, swarming with bubbles and capped off with one finger of loose, soapy, light beige-tinged head. It lasts for the better part of five minutes, eventually being reduced to an uneven collar of froth and some islands of foam on the surface. Bready malts, toffee pudding and pie crust on the nose, with an underlying vibe of baking spices - I'm leaning towards nutmeg and ginger, but I haven't been able to find a list of ingredients so I really can't be certain.
A good effort, with a sturdy backbone of sweet, caramelized malt and gingerbread flavours. Hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and maybe allspice, but again I'm just going with my gut instincts here. Finishes with an understated, leafy hop bitterness, with persistent earthy spiciness lasting into the aftertaste, hanging around for a few seconds post-sip. Light-medium in body, with moderate carbonation levels that provide a good, crisp bite on the surface of the palate. More drinkable than most spiced ales, honestly.
Final Grade: 3.41, a B-. Sleeman's Spiced Ale is a tolerable autumn or winter beer, with a malt-forward flavour which has been nicely accented by a subtle kick of rack spices. I'm still going with ginger/nutmeg, but there's probably others in there - it's not quite a "pumpkin spice" beer (sans the gourd, of course) but it's still sort of in the same neighbourhood. Probably one of the better beers carrying the Sleeman label. I wouldn't go out of your way for it, but if the opportunity presents itself, this is safe and unobjectionable by macro standards, if a bit pedestrian.
