The "neighbour" in the name is meant to refer to America, so I imagine C'est What just got the name mixed up or NB have a slightly different name for the cask version.
A shark on whisky is mighty risky. A shark on beer is a beer engineer.

For what it's worth, I did call and they just bottled a fresh batch.

Ha, wouldn't put it past C'est What for mixing up the name of the beer. I'm going to assume it's the same beer.

Probably. Not a slight to C'est What, but they've done it before - in the winter they gave Muskoka's Winterbeard the name of Beau's Winter Brewed.

I questioned the discrepancy at lunch today and was informed that they were just replicating the label on the cask as provided by Nickel Brook.

Finally got this from the brewery - it's great! I didn't no it was unfiltered. It's almost like a sessionable Boneshaker.

Tonight I had one of those an RPA and a Boneshaker...pretty great stuff from the Horseshoe!

had this on cask at c'est what monday and had a chance to buy some bottles today.

enjoyed it more on cask over the bottle but still very drinkable and as stated many times before would lend itself to a session.

suspect its likely a variant of their headstock light which is also in the 4% abv range
