Big Rock Honey Brown Lager

Brewed by Big Rock Brewery
Style: American Dark Lager
Calgary, Canada

Botella. Bit unclear amber colour. Aroma is sweet with caramel , and toasted malt. Good mouthfeel. Sweet caramel malty flavour with a mild bitterness. Sweet caramel malty finish.

Draft. Poured clear darkish amber, with a thin head for a draft pour, and poor lacing. Nose is caramelly sweet, with some malt. Palate is overly sweet, and really bland, I couldn’t finish my pint.

341 ml bottle from Premier Wines (Halifax). Pours a clear orange gold with quickly disappearing off-white head. Caramel malt and the slightest hint of hoppiness in the nose. Caramel malt, bread, hint of honey in the flavour with a slight hoppy crispness at the end. Somehwhat syrupy mouthfeel, light carbonation. Nothing too interesting here.

Bottle. 5%. Clear amber/red/brown colour with a weak white foam, little retention. Aroma is sweet malts, honey, yeast. Taste is fairly smooth, but a little too yeasty for my liking. Quite sweet and malty. Better than Sleemans, and I would drink this again.

Clear orange red color. Sweet notes. Hints of deep brown malts. Little honey. Tasty honey elements on the taste. Fair by all accounts. A solid beer.

"Review done in a crappy Chinese food restaurant that charged way to much for a bottle of beer. Poured the beer myself from a bottle into a hexagon shaped glass that said IKEA on the bottom, brew was a nice honey brown crystal clear but had zero cap, well maybe no zero but what little was produced was gone very quickly. Aroma was almost nonexistent and was made up of dusty smelling malts a slight sweetness. Taste was light but descent enough light roast malts, a touch of honey for some sweetness and a very mild hop presence. Mouth feel was soft and a touch flat feeling but not gross. Ok beer I can drink it but see no real reason to, honey brown’s just aren’t my style.

Bours light brown and clear with a thin white head. No retention. Aroma is sweet and yeasty.The flavour is very sweet and sickly. It is probably the worst honey beer I have ever had. All in all i’m glad it was free.

Pours a light brown with a one finger sized head. Aroma is of honey combs cereal, the nasty big rock stinky foot yeast and that’s about it. Tastes pretty much the same. Why do I keep trying these garbage honey beers? Nasty, too sweet and always cheap tasting.
