Big Rock Grasshopper Wheat Ale

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

Can’t escape Grasshopper here in Alberta. In the past I thought it was better than it actually is. Suprisingly weak flavour for a wheat beer. Lacks the crispness of better brands. Average.

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.

Pours gold/amber with a lasting foamy off white head. Grassy, slightly lemony, traces of toasted cereal aroma. Thin body. Sweet and citric. Very light but evenly balanced. Notes of caramel. Light bitter finish. Decent and refreshing. But boring.

Tap. Light gold with a small head. Almost no aroma. The body is thin, with a taste of corn. Doesn’t taste like a wheat beer.

Awsome beer. However I may have skewed ratings. I drank this right before I saw an awsome Phish Show so I could be giving it the pleasant memories of the show. either way I would buy it again

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

I feel that there is a great elegance on the palate for a wheat beer....you can really taste the grains....to me the finish needs to be a bit stronger but an excellent beer.

Piss yellow with no head but slight lacing. Aroma of pink grapefruit, bubble gum and banana. Citrus taste, sour finish, slightly reminiscent of a wheat beer. Light body for the style. Interesting, but not great.
