Jul 19, 2004 Someone brought a can of Kold to the RBSG ’04, and as many needed Alberta, it was a big draw. Unfortunately, it was also not a good beer. Glowing yellow color with a fizzy white head and a nose that reminded me of cold baked beans. Flavor was very thin, with some canned corn/vegetable tastes. It would have been better colder.

Jul 18, 2004 RBSG 04, the true highlight of the night. Pours a piss yellow, which i will give a 2 because it actually has color. Aroma of baked beans? that was the final verdict. Having no taste i will give a 3, because it was much better than having the taste follow up the bean aroma, that would have been awful. I will give it a 5 overall due to its bean like quality, which may have taken a ton of effort to achieve.

Jun 25, 2004 Straw color with a small white head. Earthy hop aroma. Clean grainy malt flavor with a mellow hop bitterness. Finishes clean and dry.

Jun 22, 2004 Can: Fizzy yellow, sweet aroma. Well it doesn’t smell like corn. That is about the only thing that it has going for it. Oh yeah, it isn’t overly carbonated either.

May 5, 2004 Had a glass of this at "Spolumbo’s" Calgary’s East End wunder bar with great Italian sausages. It tapped a pale straw color with a smallish white head that went out to a thin lace that clings to the glass through the drink. Had slight aromas of grains malt and hop. Started very crisp, almost like a pilsner, but sat very comfortably on the palate like a light lager with a good, but thin, balance of hops, malt and grain tastes, then finished cleanly with a slight (not unpleasant) malt after taste. Some may call this drink “watery” but it is a thirst buster type lager not intended to be categorized or compete with import or craft lagers....just to guzzle with some gooey sandwich.
This is a very good commercial light summer lager, I much prefer this over most of the mega brew lagers...and with a famous Spolumbo’s sausage sandwich it hit the spot right on the mark.
Two great Calgary traditions that just seem to have an affinity for each other I suppose. Perhaps that’s why my impression of this light beer is so positive.

Mar 15, 2004 Very plain, very average. Nothing stood out too much. Not bad, but not great

Nov 28, 2003 A nice refreshing beer from Big Rock, a bit mainstream but hey, at least they do it good.

Sep 21, 2003 Although I enjoyed this lager, I think it could be much better with the use of more hops.
