Single malt lager, made from pure glacial water, choice hops and our own lager yeast. Brewed without preservatives, additives or adjuncts. The result is an unusually clean, crisp beer with no bitter taste.

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

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

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

average American standard. Lager aroma, pours a very light yellow, fairly nice head, carbonation high. Watery with light hops and slight malt.

Nothing too spectacular here. Golden colour small head. Flavour is somewhat grainy and bitter. Nothing special

This is Big Rock's attempt at a mainstream lager I guess. It's actually not bad. Very little hops, and a slighty fruity (?) taste to it. Extremely drinkable. I polished this off much quicker than I planned to

I have never tasted this beer before so I thought what the heck so I bought a case ($1000 promotion had some to do with it). The next day I took out 2 cans and gave one to my son. I open mine took a drink and just about gagged. It was the worst beer I ever tasted. In fact it had no taste and was flat. I call my son and asked if his beer was Okay. He said yes. He said you must be drinking carbonated water and look inside the can. To my surprise there was a plastic tube and inside was a $100 bill. Opened a second can to taste what it really should be like. I am now sold on this brand when they pay you to drink their beer especially never having tasted it before.

What is this? Microbrewers trying to bust into the canned beer business? I had to buy this just because it's made by a small brewery. Way better than 99% of other canned beers. Full bodied, tastes like a cheap lager made traditionally, without using rice or corn. I can't believe I drank this...
