Big Rock Grasshopper Wheat Ale

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

can. translucent golden with a short-lasting large fluffy white head. aroma is of sweet grain, butterscotch, and caramel. no fruit to speak of. flavour profile is somewhat thin, it’s mostly sweet with some bread and yeast notes. short acidic finish. normally this isn’t a style I’m very fond of and this beer is no exception.

For such a wicked can I was very disappointed. Poured a light blond with fine head. Faint grassy aroma. Miniscule wheaty bite. Goes down smooth but a little too unremarkable and watery I would say.

Clear pale yellow colour with thin white head. Mild yeast nose. Dry tangy taste with mild teast hints.

Bottle: Poured a fizzy golden color ale with a small head with no retention. Aroma is comprised of weak wheat. Taste is again quite weak on wheat with a gross watery aftertaste. There is also some sourness that I could detect that wasn’t pleasant at all. Bad bad stuff.

Well, it came served with a lemon, so right away I was reluctant to claim it as my order. Came from keg, clear golden colour, no head. I didn’t want to use the lemon, but my buddy put it in before I could protest (or maybe I did protest and he didn’t listen). Anyway, it tasted like lemon-flavoured Perrier.

An interesting beer, nothing really going on here. I had it on tap, it was served with lemon. Would be a great summer afternoon beer. Very refreshing.

Bottle , very thin head, almost flat, the beer tasted pretty much the same.This wheat ale is a miss, not something I will miss.

A clear, crisp, wheaty ale...with a strong wheat aroma. I tried this beer without the lime first...but found that the lime adds a slight bitterness that compiments the flavor of the wheat and hopps.
