Maudite is one of a number of Belgian-style beers made by Unibroue, in
Quebec.  They are available in Ontario (and I discovered a couple of
years ago, in France) but I'm not sure about other jurisdictions.

Maudite is relatively similar to Chimay Red Cap.

Other Unibroue beers are:

Blanche de Chambly -- a Belgian-style wheat beer (white, hints of
cardamom).  A little like Hoegaarden.

Fin du Monde -- a lighter-coloured trippel, about 9% C2H5OH by volume. 
Somewhat generically similar to Chimay White Cap.

Trois Pistoles -- a dark trippel.

Raftman -- Beer fermented on whiskey lees (using barrels which had been
used for ageing whiskey.

I'm probably forgetting one or two.
