Can. Aroma is really sweet, like corn syrup and bile, stewed brussels sprouts, corn, shitty grain. Dreadful. Palate is actually worse. If it were not for Molson Canadian, this would be the worst beer I’ve ever had. Dear God, I’m only 3 sips in and I’m gonna drain pour the rest of the can. Unless you are actually homeless, this is not worth drinking.

Cheepy beer , 24 for 30 bucks in Alberta. For a beer with 7 percent alc content this is easy to down. In hard economic times why not pick these up?

Clear straw colour. Smells cheap and starchy. Almost no head. Flavour of wet card board and alcohol. It is very smooth. I’ll give it that. This is the beer that all the bums drink in my home town and I have to say if your a bum and want to get drunk for cheap this is the brew for you.

A friend of mine had one of these kicking around. He called it magic beer. All i knew was that it was produced by big Rock. This is easily one of my worst beer experiences ever. Aroma of crap. Flavour of sour corny flavour. Overall, this beer is terrible.

Poured out of the can and it has a an electric yellow colour with a quickly disapearing head. The aroma is sweet with a hint of something foul in it... possibly manure. Taste is sickenly sweet with a strong alcohol finish. Poorly made budget beer... unless your homeless, avoid this one.

A single can found when picking up a couple of sixes for a BBQ. Disguised as Pine Creek Brewing who ironically share the same Postal Code as Big Rock. Fairly carbonated. Very thin head. Musty aroma with hint of alcohol. Aftertaste of the first sip is so bad I don’t want another. Subsequent sips aren’t as bad as the palate adjusts. Sweetish but raw with a musty bad finish.

A light golden lager with a thin white dissipating head. A sweet corney aroma. In mouth, a sweetish concoction, with light hopping, and overall, bland and cloying. Beurk....Bought in Edmonton, Jan. 2007.

Picked this up as a single can when I was in the Lake Louise liquor store by the visitor center. Clear golden yellow with a moderate foamy white head. Sweet grainy aroma, a little stinky. Bland sweet palate that is faintly tinny. Once again, the "can-only" malt liquor proves to be the dregs of the industry.
