Jun 22, 2009 50 cl can, Mulmur, ON, Canada. Amber colour, thin frothy head. Very bready, malt infused aroma. Tinny flavor, some overly powerful notes for such a low alcohol beer, with none of the advantages. Strange.
Eructoblaster (1394), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
May 4, 2009 Can - 473ml. Pours a hazy caramel body with good carbonation and a thin off-white creamy/bubbly head. Decent malty/hoppy aroma with some caramel hints. Its fresh hoppy taste lacks complexity and ends with a short bitter finish. Not bad, but rather boring.
garthicus (1040), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Apr 24, 2009 Can. Golden body with a small white head. Lots of carbonation visible. Aroma: Cream, caramel, grass. Some malt, dark fruit and a good deal of grass/skunk coming in at the end. Flavour: Grassy malt with caramel and raisins, long grassy finish. Not great.

Jan 31, 2009 500 ml can from LCBO, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass. JA30/09.
App.: Clear deep-ish amber with a fairly large meringue.
Aroma: Sort of a weird stinky caramel/toffee, quite nutty with some burnt sugar, ashes.
Palate: Medium body, moderate effervescence.
Flav.: Like the nose, there is some strange malt and a lot of burnt nuts; dry with a little bitterness and lingering nuttiness.
Not quite infected, but not quite right either.

sinkhole (163), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Dec 29, 2008 Pours dark copper with an off white head. Mild hop, and caramel aromas. These combine with a light malt to achieve a quiet balanced beer. A slight malted finish. Another nice, but not great beer from Neustadt.
mullet2007 (193), St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada
Dec 16, 2008 Can exploded all over everything when opened. Resulting pour had nearly no head, having lost most of the carbonation in the messy explosion. Colour is a nice thick brown, not dark or opaque, but certainly brown and not red. If there were a head, it would be a pale tan, based on the tiny ring left around the edges of the glass. Nose is raisins, dark fruit, and some piney resiny hops. Flavour is a lot of the same, lots of raisins, lots of pine. Very nice hop presence for the style I would say. Carbonation is predictably low, though not as low as I had imagined given the mess it made when I opened it. And it is still fairly chewy. Not bad.
