1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Probably the worst i have had from Big Rock. Not horrid, but nothing in any way that strikes me as different. I am not certain that this glacier water thing works for any brewery. But, I digress.....here’s the rating:
Appearance: Gold body, some slight carbonation noticable, and a thin white head accompanies.
Aroma: Aroma is faint, lacking. Mild corn, acidic, chamicals, and slight hops.
Taste: Weak,watery, slightly bitter hops, some corn.
Palate: Watery from start to finish. Hardly noticable going down.
Overall: Lacking in pretty much every area. Weak, disappointing.

Not a great beer, tastes like a very basic beer with little hops, it didn’t seem pale to me.

bottle. I found this in the singles bin at the Summerhill LCBO, thankfully I didn’t buy an entire 6-pack. smells entirely of grass and vegetables. translucent light golden. I agree with the commercial description to a point, it’s "clean and crisp" and it certainly doesn’t have a "bitter taste", but that last part should be changed to "nearly no taste whatsoever". malty and uneventful.

This reminded me a lot of samuel adams. I was shocked to find another baked bean brew. It’s also pretty grassy and malty. Another failure from the pale lager group

This stuff is just wrong. Baked bean aroma and flavor. Does not seem fresh in the slightest.

Can (thanks Ace): Light yellow color. Dishwater nose. Watery mouthfeel. Light flavors of beets and overcooked vegetables. I’ll be on the lookout for a fresher sample, but things don’t look too good as of now.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours average gold with a slight green hue. Grassy/clover with a lightly hopped nose. Flavours are very green and leafy with only a trace of toasted malt. Toches of citrus hanging around for the finish. Pretty dull.

Bottle - Actually one of my favorite pale lagers. Very drinkable, refreshing, particularly on a hot day. Everything else that you read about colour and how it pours is pretty much true. Aroma is almost non-existent.
