I don’t normally rate a beer "from memory", but I feel I have to rate this even though it is retired, and I last had it just over a year ago. I feel justified in that I used to drink a lot of this stuff, along with Chinook, before I moved to Australia for a while. When I got back, they had retired them both, but I’ve still got a handsome set of beer glasses with the logos on them. Anyway, from what I recall, this had maybe a shadow of pale ale character at most, certainly nothing like the beautiful American pales that we get from our microbrewing neighbours to the south (and a select few Canadian ones too-- Tree Brewing for example). I remember Canvasback having a darker amber appearance than Chinook, with a somewhat fruitier palate. A beer that holds some sentimental fondness for me though.

Golden color, fast fading white head. Light in body and taste, although you can detect the Big Rock signature yeast. Not one of the best from this Brewery

Tastes like every other Big Rock beer.
