I wonder how much this will be? Probably too much, esp factoring in shipping.
12 x 473 ml cans = $49.50

Thanks for the info, that's at least $10 too much for me. I checked them all on untappd for the hell of it and it's a whole lot of mediocre (other than Shaggin' Wagon).

Seriously. Does it even work? Typed in Badlands. No results. Typed in Coors, then Stella. Nothing found :lol:

I got this at the Lansdowne Ottawa growler fill. Nice little find. One of the few fruit beers I adore

This is an incredible beer. Can't believe how full bodied and flavourful it is for the abv. You'd never know it was 3%.

I just finished one, and thought it one of the thinnest tasting beers I’ve had in a long long time. Tastes nice and flavourful, but it’s just not for me.

I thought it was tasty for 3.2% (yes that imparts less body.) This is like a lower-range Ordinary Bitter in strength, but for the abundant. smooth hops. I will enjoy this in some pint glasses I recently picked up.

Very surprised you found it so thin bodied. I found it had a much bigger mouth feel that some other similar beers with a higher abv. Nickelbrook's Lost in Orbit and Great Lake's Sunnyside come to mind.

The older I get the more I appreciate these flavourful low abv beers. Even three 6.5% IPAs over the course of a night will lead me to feel lethargic the next day.

I’ve got another one in the fridge and will re-visit. Maybe I had something before hand that affected my palate(I can’t remeber now). I almost always like to try a beer at least twice before writing it off.

As far as low abv beers, it seems that the session/low abv ipa just doesn’t really do it for me very often. I’d rather take a nice bitter I think.

Had the 10 a few times last night. My first one I found green and chalky with too much body, funny enough. However after having a few IPAs and getting to the point in the evening where I wanted to gear down or I’d suffer the consequences in the morning I switched back to a couple of 10’s to end my night and they were great. By that point my palette wasn’t sophisticated enough to analyze the beer however I appreciated having something flavourful with a low ABV. And I feel great this morning, so overall a big thumbs up if drank in the right context .
