Big Rock Grasshopper Wheat Ale

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

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

A beer that made an appearance at my annual hockey pool. This beer had an aroma that reminded more of rye than wheat. It was a nice golden colour when poured. It is smooth to the tongue and is smooth tasting. I would certainly recommend this beer to somebody wanting to try a decent wheat beer without paying through the nose.

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

Pale yellow in color with a minimal head, this beer is nice and refreshing. That being said, the taste could be stronger.

If it weren’t for the lemon wedge on the rim of the glass on a recent trip to Canada, I would never suspect that this is a wheat beer. It tastes, looks, and smells like any ordinary swill, thus the low ratings. Perhaps I’m being too harsh, because the stuff is drinkable, but I decided to take extra points off for not even coming close to the original style.

Not great, but not bad. Pours a deep yellow colour, with no head, white fizzy lacing. Smells like a bag of 12 grain bread, with notes of .......urine? Urine aside, the beer tastes pretty good, a very light malt start, some good notes of wheat in the middle, but kind of an empty finish, just a touch of dryness. A little watery, but good carbonation. A pretty mediocre Wheat Ale. Brick Waterloo Wheat was much better.

Unimpressive...Pretty clear and clean looking. A bit sweet in a way, fairly spritzy. I probably wont' get it again, and woudnt recommend it.

Pours a golden yellow with little head. Aroma is musty with some citrus notes (mainly lemon) some allspice, and very bready malt. Tastes lemony, with a mushroomy mid-palate. Also has some spice and a very bready taste. Palate is fine, but this beer is much better on tap. Just lacks the bright freshness of a good wheat beer.
