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! Formerly known as Robert Simpson Anti-Gravity Light

Oakes (10941) - Savusavu, FIJI ISLANDS - SEP 24, 2008
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?

Lubiere (8247) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 29, 2010
A light golden ale with a thick receeding white head. Aroma of biscuitty malt and sweet corn. In mouth, a rather mundane ale with light malt, faint hops, light chalkyness, lighter bodied. Bottle from LCBO,

JoeMcPhee (7625) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - APR 2, 2011
tap at the Winking Judge. Pale straw colour with a tight white head. The aroma is softly crockery with a nice light noble hop aroma. Softly herbal and a little bit lemony as well. There is a hint of of soft fruitiness, but that is also quite restrained. Clean with the faintest hint of sulfur as well. There is a bit of light zestiness on the back of the palate. Simple, but well-made brew.

Sammy (7041) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 21, 2009
Fairly basic beer. Cheesy aroma, with som malt. Fizzy carbonation wih a little white, a little lace on very light yellow. Thin mouthfeel, a tad soapy taste. Drinkable.

jercraigs (6477) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 11, 2008
2008-08-10. Very pale yellow, small white head. Very mild aroma, light straw/grains. Very light bitterness, mild pale malts. Average palate. Clean, mainstream. Nothing wrong with it, but theres not enough of anything for it to be right either. Bland, but I suppose its decent enough for something targeting the Light category? On tap at the Toronto Festival Of Beer

HogTownHarry (5653) - Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, CANADA - JUL 18, 2009
Bottle (355ml). Clear light gold, average quick-diminishing fizzy white head (3-). Slightly honey-sweet dry aroma, scorched straw and something stale and herbal. Taste isn’t bad - honey, clover, mild cereal malt body. Light body, very lively mouthfeel, quick finishing, but very crisp and refreshing - seriously, not bad at all for what it is - can it and toss a sixer in your golf bag.

Beershine (5173) - The Sunshine State, Florida, USA - SEP 20, 2008
Pale yellow. Smells like plastic, buttery bread crusts. Sweet in a candy bar way. Oily. Drinkable, though, and not entirely bad.

blankboy (5153) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 19, 2008
Sampled at the Ontario Brewing Awards at the Esplanade Bier Mrkt. Pours a clear bubbly pale gold with a small diminishing white head. Aroma of grain and faint fruit -- smells alright, there’s nothing bad there, it’s just too mild and dull. Watery, mild Pale Lager flavour -- again, it’s clean but oh so dull. Not much flavour, mild in all respects -- I see no point in drinking this.

mabel (5043) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 20, 2008
[1573-20080810] Tap. Grainy yeasty bread aroma. Clear, pale orange body with quick white bubbles. Grainy yeasted bread dough continues in the flavour. Light body. Poor.
(@ TFOB 2008; Toronto, ON)
