Nice looking beer. Deep amber,lasting off white head. Small bead.Light hop nose. Malt flavor with too few finishing hops

Big Rock Brewing Company--Hakai Pale Ale--1999 11.2 oz. Bottle. 5.00% ABV. (3.75 / 5.0) Pale Ale--Dry Hopped. Rich clear amber golden color. Light sweet floral hop front. Light sweet crystal malt body is soft and rich despite light body. Hop spice appears in middle and dissolves in dry finish. Sampled 5/20/1999.

Not sure the difference between this and Big Rock Chinook Pale Ale. Not sure if it is really retired or if I got an antique. Imported bottle in Montana. Light lasting head and lacing. Orange tinted gold colour. Light hop flavour with a touch of yeast and a bit of mellon. Some bitterness in the finish.

Light golden in body. Slight ,malt accented by grapefruit, nut, and caramel. light tasting, semi-sweet with a light bitter finish that lingers with honey. Refreshng and light.

Light amber colored with a bland, mildewy macro aroma apparent in the flavor as well. This beer has a bit of a skunky undercurreent, but is fairly smooth overall. A bland ale brewed for mass consumption.
