Big Rock Grasshopper Wheat Ale

Nothing like European wheat beers. Yellowish gold. No head at all. Aroma of grasses/clover. Not in a good way. Tastes how it smells. Sweetens markedly as it warms. A tiny bit of hops on the finish. Drinkable, but there are better choices.

Bottled. Poured a clear paler golden with a dusting of white head remaining. Nose was of sweetened banana and wheat notes with hints of honey and lemon... not bad components, but didn’t strike the right chord with me. Quite a bit of caramel and other sweetness across the middle in the flavor... tart lemon and wheaty notes around the tongue were rather well-placed. Carbonation was too high... but creamy otherwise. Didn’t enjoy this.

Golden yellow and headless, this had an aroma of Wheaties, candy corn, and field grasses. Highly carbonated and gassy, this had a grainy wheat flavor with a drop of honey and a light, grassy bitterness. Candy sweet finish.

pours pale yellow, no head. smells of grass and gym socks. grassy flavor and something reminiscent of laundry day. a bit gassy, also. gassy, grassy or assy, nobody rides for frfee.

now i kinda lost my mind wiht some of these canadian wheat beers. they are almost all filtered and taste more in the amber range then the wheat range. a toffee biscuity tangy flavored beer served with a lemon like it was a REAL wheat beer. thin and uninteresting.

355ml Bottle: Fans of weisse will be disappointed here, there’s none of that to be found. It’s a filtered beer with only hints of weisse to be found. Aroma is awful, just horrible. Not sure why or what causes it but I wish to never smell it again. Pour was decent with a little fluffy white head, golden colour, small streams of carbonation. Flavour is very simple ale with light hints of yeast and citrus, fair amount of hops. Average.

Most idiots don’t know a great beer based on style when they see one. This is a large micro with great flavour.

Draught. Small white head, especially as it is a wheat beer. Hazy golden body. Weak hops aroma. Flavor with a decent amount of hops. Far from my expectations.
