Big Rock Grasshopper Wheat Ale

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

Slightly rusty golden pour with a clingy white head. Sweet acidic scent. Watery taste, not much going on there. A hint of hops and a touch of biterness in the finish. A very slight taste of citrus in the middle. Definately one of the weakest wheat beers I have had. This used to be a favourite of mine before I had try so many better beers. A poor example of the style.

Mild, like an introduction to wheats for the uninitiated. Slight fruitiness, slight head, slight bitterness. Slight.

341 ml Bottle, 5% a/v. Pours with a quickly dissapating white head, nice golden colour. Fairly bubbly. Honey and malt in the nose. Smells good! Tastes like honey, a tad malty, and a nice hint at grain tastes. Very little aftertaste to be had! All in all a nice refreshing beer! Great for a summer day in a hammock!

A bit on the pale side, clear filtered. Good balance. Bit of a dried grass or hay aroma. Goes down smooth. Doesn’t have the personality or citrusy/fruity flavors of other wheat beers though.

This is not a normal wheat beer. Lacks the straw colour and citrusy flavour. Tastes more like an ale. Sharp aftertaste is the only thing that is good about this beer.

341ml bottle from the LCBO The aroma is slightly sweet honey and bread Pours a very golden amber with a fast dissipitating white head The taste is more like a pale lager then a wheat beer Not very good

On tap at the Winking Judge, served with a lemon. nice beer. a little on the thin side, but taste was pretty good.

Can. Pours a very slightly hazy yellow, with a nice rocky white head. Nose is basic macro-like, with suggestions of corn as well as wheat. Some mild spiciness, but precious little. Palate is not at all appealing; broad in the way wheat beers that wheat beers should be, with a nice lemony character, but with a cheap sweet, corny taste, no hops, and very little that is pleasant or redeeming. Sub-par macro garbage masquerading as a microbrew. Drain pour.
