Given Southern Tier's problems with the LCBO's stringent regulations, I was a bit surprised at the Robert Simpson's Antigravity Light Ale that I found at the Dundas & Dovercourt store today. It was an open 6-pack and the individual bottles had no indication of the volume or alcohol content - not on the front label, not on the back, not on the cap. Only on the cardboard carrier itself was this info to be found.
Are my eyes failing me or are these bottles missing neck labels or is this an LCBO oversight?

Antigravity labels - Am I missing something?
OMG
Please, please, please, PLEASE tell me you didn't buy them and drink any!!!!!!!!!! You have NO IDEA what could be in those bottles! Someone could have tampered with them! They could have just walked into the store, popped off the caps, poured poison into them, re-sealed them and walked out without ANYONE seeing them the WHOLE time! You know, this just really brings home the message to me that we NEED our collective bigger bro' the LCBO to watch out for us! I bet the brewer secretly planted them on the shelves of that store in some sort of evil plot.
Seriously man, you could be dead in hours. I would start freaking out and going into quarantine if I were you!

I bought a sixer of this. Pretty underwhelming. Canadian ale is the style they are going for, I guess, and the packaging materials proudly proclaim "no aftertaste" - always a bad sign. For the record, no neck labels and no abv anywhere on the bottle; only on the carton. I wonder if it is all malt. My guess would be no. They do call it "all natural".
