Upper Canada Point Nine

Brewed by Sleeman Brewing & Malting Co. (Sapporo)
Style: Low Alcohol
Guelph, Canada

Bottle, C’est What. Crisp very pale yellow body with a gorgeous fluffy white head. And that’s the best part about it. Aroma is actually sort of unpleasant with a hint of malt to it. Tastes like the malt extract from a homebrew diluted many times. Long lingereing aftertaste pollutes your mouth for a while. Palate is very light. I have had it now, now I can never have it again.

This beer was sampled at Cest What (bottle). Aroma of wet wheat, old moldy malt. Thin body, flavor a la blended processed cardboard, light sweetener added. Leaves bad mouthfeel, which thankfully does not last long.

Clear pale yellow. Fizzy white head. Grainy festering malt aroma. Sugary feel. Unpleasant diluted malt extract flavour. And I so badly wanted to rate this beer a 0.9.

I love Canadian beer and I do miss the taste of Labatt and Molson and Yukon Gold. But, now that I don’t drink...the low-to-nil alcohol is all I can do and I am sooo pleased that Point Nine is around for me to import. I love this stuff!

I prefer this to the light lager. Actually a little more flavour in this and maybe even a hint of a malty taste. Still not something I’d reach for, but when compared against others in its style, it fares pretty well. But 0.9%, so why, really?

A small buzz from the alcohol still possible without food. Better in a meal. Best feature: More of a beer than a malt beverage. Some malt sweetness, but more hop bitterness. Pronounced carbonation. fine red colour.

This is probably the worst beer I have ever tasted. It looks half decent. Gold, big head. Not bad for an almost non-alc-low-cal. Then taste it. Overwhelming corn syrup. Add sugar when alcohol is lacking. I don't think so. Holy Hell that was not good at all. Must have been amazing before Sleeman took over. Somebody must have had a gun to the brewmaster's head.

Mild sweet aroma, golden, large white head. Metalic, malty corn. Sticky sweet, fair for a low alcohol beer.
