Big Rock Grasshopper Wheat Ale

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

Golden colour, slightly grassy malty aroma. Little head, thin body. Fairly bland overall. Didn't use the lemon on the side. Might have made it more interesting.

Golden hue with dishsoapy head. Sweet hoppy aroma, unusual for a wheat. Vaguely citrus burst at the first swallow, with a slight wheaty finish. OK light ale, not among the best American wheats I've had, however.

Like a slightly fruity pale ale. A little bit honey aroma, lightbodied and a hint of bitterhop finish. Rather boring though.

A sweet wheat beer with a lemon finish. Very likable in the summer sun, with friends, at work, under the table...

Draught at C’est What. Pours a clear bubbly orange with a small creamy white head. Very mild aroma of grain, grass and corn -- very dull. Watery, mild flavour of grain, some sweet malt and a very light bitter finish -- hard to tell as there’s so little flavour. Light bodied. So, so dull -- not even worth drinking.

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.

What "light" beer should be. Full alcohol but you can drink a lot and enjoy it. Great for passing the time and not thinking too much about the beverage.

On tap at O’Sheas in Toon Town. Clear golden yellow with a thin white head. Too much carbonation for such a thin bodied beer. I’m not sure where the wheat is supposed to be, but it is definitely missing from this beer. Hugely disappointing.
