Commercial Description:
AntiGravity is our answer to the call for a natural, craft-brewed Light Ale that actually still has flavour. The challenge was to give the beer a certain body and complexity not usually found in beers at the lighter end of the spectrum Here it is. Antigravity is lighter, but still flavorful; effervescent and playful, but not too hoppy or aggressive. It’s an easygoing ale for times when you want to let someone else run the planet for the day and just enjoy the ride a while. Oh, and it’s an easygoing ale which was awarded Gold in the 2008 Ontario Brewing Awards. We said it was a Light Ale, not a conventional one!

Smells like corn, pale yellow, white head. Tastes like..."oh the humanity" harsh, this blows!

Straw colour. Fairly strawlike nose with faint hop. This is clean, strawlike, fairly sweet. The body is very light. This thing finishes really quickly, clean. Well-made, but truly boring and really, are they going to out-market the global conglomerates?

Pale yellow. Smells like plastic, buttery bread crusts. Sweet in a candy bar way. Oily. Drinkable, though, and not entirely bad.

355mL bottle from the LCBO. So the award for least sensical thing I’ve ever read on a beer label goes to.....this beer, for the "Inspired ales, meant for drinking, not posing" line! Congrats! (wtf?)(and what the hell do they mean by ’Anti-Gravity Light’?) Anyways, the aroma on this one had me shuddering with memories of this brewery’s flagship beer which will go unmentioned, but is known for being somewhat of a corn orgy to the mouth. That horrible house corn aspect that really is unpleasant. But the flavour actually surprised me. There’s real malts in here! A touch of toffee, that’s all really, not a lot of distinction, but I’m pretty sure the lack of corn on the cobness really works to this one’s advantage! Very light and spritzy feeling, but not in an obnoxious way. This is actually far better than I was worried it might be.
