Big Rock Grasshopper Wheat Ale

Brewed by Big Rock Brewery
Style: Wheat Ale
Calgary, Canada

draught. better and much wheatier than I remember from the last time I tried it, it seems like big rock has made improvements to the recipe. not a good example of the style maybe, but considering it basically ends up being almost identical to a premium lager, it’s very much a palatable option compared to many examples of that style. A bit underrated by many on the site.

This is a decent refreshing wheat beer. Doesn’t hold a candle to good german hefe, but quaffable on a hot summer day on tap, lots of bars in canada have it.

Botella. Grainy wheaty aroma. Fair mouthfeel. Flavour of something wheaty , bit sweet with grains and gras, bit grassy. Disappointing.

On draft at Joe Baladinis (Toronto, ON)> Pours a hazy yellow color with thin white head. Aroma is sweet and floral with notes of grass, wheat, yeast, banana, clove, light citrus. Flavor is sweet and floral with notes of caramel, honey, funk, wheat, yeast, bread. Generally light body with a thin finish.

Thanks kiefdog for the share. Pours light yellow with a white head. Nose is corn, bread, and grass. Flavor is about the same. Light, sweet, and wheaty. umm, ok.

Courtesy of kiefdog. Pours gold with thin white head. The aroma is grainy, floral and sweet with a modest level of malts. The taste consists of sweet malts, graininess, floral hops and little else. It ends thin and too sweet for my taste.

Pours yellow. Nose is grainy, wheaty, adjuncty, maybe a little lemon. Flavor is transparent at best. Some grain, bread and not much else.

Draft. Pours with a little bit of head. Very easy start with a fantastic wheaty finish thats not too overpowering. Fantastic wheat ale.
