Aug 14, 2005 can. orange-copper body with a creamy white head. aroma is grainy, dusty, and yeasty, with vague notes of dirty clothing. yeasty caramel and sweet malt flavours. body is smooth and creamy. It’s actually fairly quaffable though not particularly interesting.

Jul 29, 2005 dark amber with a moderate off white head. Sweet earthy malt in both the
aroma, and the lead in of the flavour. Minerally notes with watery moments.
Very mild bitterness. Average palate, dry minerally aftertaste lingers.
Bottle from LCBO singles bin may not be in its prime. Decent, but a pale
shadow of the beer as I remembered it on tap many years ago, which I equated
roughly to Bass at the time. Deserves a second chance but this sample
doesn’t make me eager to spring for a full six pack.

Jul 19, 2005 Golden brown colour (kinda like iced tea) with a small head that dissipates very quickly. Very little aroma; Flavours are mostly yeast and malt, somewhat watered down - Not exactly what I call a cream ale....

Jul 12, 2005 pours an iced tea color with a greyish head. aroma is some chocolate and lemon. taste is not good, a bit wheaty with some peanut flavor and some chocolate in the finish. lemon is there also. the tastes don’t mesh and leave an altogether unpleasant mouthfeel to go with a chalky caramel that is bad. i feel lucky it was an 11.5 oz bottle, the less i have to drink of this the better.

Jul 11, 2005 pours a copper colour with a medium head. Smells sweet with a hint of hoppiness. Taste is malty sweet. Not a bad beer but not a great one either.

Mar 9, 2005 Milder flavour than the colour suggests, yet too strong to be very easy drinking. Very light in body. All in all a bit dull.

Feb 28, 2005 Updated: May 4, 2005Another great beer from Big Rock! I found this cream ale to have a light & sweet aftertaste...but don’t get me wrong...this isn’t a light beer. The flavor stares you down just like the red eyed warthog on the label!

Feb 22, 2005 Updated: Feb 28, 2005I found this beer to have a bold taste. Very similar to Big Rock Tradition ale.
