Big Rock Grasshopper Wheat Ale

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

An excellent summer drink. Fresh out of an icy cooler or served in a frosty mug. This is an example of how wheat ales should be. A touch of fruit out of the start with a bold/crisp finish.

Bottled. Pours with a golden hue and small white head. Fresh hoppy flavour with some nice complementing malt undertones and some bitterness in the finish.

I’m surprised at the low rating of this beer. Maybe I’m playing favorites since its a Calgary brew. I think it looks great. Clean and clear straw colour with medium head. Usually served with a slice of lemon (throw that away). Obviously a wheaty flavour. Refreshing summer time beer served cold for me.

bottle. after loving the traditional ale from big rock, this was a big let down. i like wheat beers with yeast sediment, but i dont discriminate if not, however, this one was bad. carbonation was very high and it tasted like straw-water. big dissappointment from big rock

On Tap at a Sport’s Bar in Vancouver. Straw color with a nice head. There was no cloudiness to the apperance which to me gave me an early sign that this wouldn’t be that good. It was lighly bitter and mellow, not a stand out but decent and drinkable.

Weak cut grass nose with some off aroma I can’t quite identify....this oughta be good! Unusually highly carbonated. Wheat flavor was weak but had a lemony component that helped. Nothing I would ever repeat.

Was not expecting such a European taste. Had this at the Freehouse in Winnipeg. Tasted great, but Wheat beers are never my favorite.

Pick up a six pack of this stuff. Not a huge fan of American wheats but I still think they’re worth a try. This one was pretty good; had nice golden pour with minimal head. Sweet aroma, a little grainy too. Flavour was a little bland, but clean tasting. I’d definitely take this over a macro any day of the week. Good but not great.
