Big Rock Grasshopper Wheat Ale

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

Big creamy looking head atop golden body. Small champagne bubbles running up through the brew. Very slight smell to it: bit of sourness. Smooth, yeasty flavor (though this is a filtered wheat) very slight tartness. Kind of bland. Not a whole lot of flavor or smell. Bottles may have been sitting for a while (i only got them because there was a mixed sixer, 2 grasshopper, 4 warthogale, for only 2.99. couldn’t pass that up.)

Not a great beer by any means, but it’s a good thirst quencher. One for those warm summer days on the patio. Just don’t forget the lemon wedge.

Not bad, but nothing special. Kind of bland, in my opinion, but the packaging is great. Probably good in the heat.

Color is a pale yellow, nothing pretty for a hefe, lightning fast faded head of I think was white, has very light and small spotty lace. Smell is malty, wheaty, some mustyness with a simple woodyness in the back. Taste is bland of malts and some touches of wheat, has a bit of sweetness and fairly strong hold in the middle of grain. Feel is pretty full and a bit of a grain feel, is pretty good, best part of this brew. This is a bit over average, I wouldn't pass it up if offered, but would pass it by otherwise. This grasshopper jumps across the field just fine but it just so happens to land in the mouth of a hungry bird.

I like drinking things out of yellow cans. If I didn't I'd rate this beer lower.

355ml can.
Pours a clear golden amber with orange highlights and barely any head. Aroma is sweet and woody Taste is malty sweet and citrusy. Medium body and smooth but a little watery feel. Very feint bitter note in the aftertaste. Ok beer, but won’t buy again.

On tap. Pours clear, pale golden yellow in colour, with little head. Mild aroma and flavour, little bit of wheat taste.

This is a decent refreshing wheat beer. Doesn’t hold a candle to good german hefe, but quaffable on a hot summer day on tap, lots of bars in canada have it.
