Big Rock Köld

Pours a nice light golden yellow. Aromas of hops, grass, and maybe some light malt.

I’m not as upset with this beer as the majority of raters. It is definitely Big Rock’s least appealing offering, but it isn’t horribly bad, just pretty avergage. Macro pale lager style, with the only difference being a heavier malt presence, which, to say it again, isn’t bad.

This was a micro version of macro crap. Please don’t brew any more of this.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with BlankBoy (thanks - especially for letting me knock off anohter Province!). Poured a lighter and see through golden color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas of grain, light citrus and some honey sweetness. Tastes of pretty much the same. Thin and on the watery side. Very much on the boring side.

341ml brown bottle. Golden with a small white cap. Sweet malts in the aroma. Very mild malt flavour with very faint citrusy hops, some grains. Light thin body, light carbonation.

Another purveyor that the water used makes a big difference. Well, its not bad in a pinch New Year’s Eve. But it is forgettable and plain, though some malt and even a hop or two for taste. More than a thin mouthfeel, so better than average for its style. Understated carbonation was appreciated.

Bottle. Pours a clear almost flat light gold with a spare diminishing white head. Quite poor looking. The sweet aroma of malt, grain and yeast is stale. The flavour’s even worse: crappy macro sweet grain Lager taste. "Made from pure glacial water"? Give me a break. This is crap.

Bottle - courtesy of blankboy. Pours a very light, clear yellow-gold with a moderate white head that disappears pretty quickly. Aroma of wet cardboard and stale malt - not very appealing. Flavour is better than the aroma suggests, but is still pretty bland and lifeless. It reminded me of most of the Brick beers (i.e. bland, inoffensive, macro-style lagers) - which makes sense, I guess, since Brick brews a lot of Big Rock beers for the Ontario market.
