Big Rock Traditional Ale

Beer poured with a creamy off white head that quickly disappeared. Copper color with a hint of red. Light malty taste & aroma. Smooth taste that did not leave alot of after taste

Sort of a baseline for what is acceptable - decent aroma, tinge of hops, sweet but not overpowering... But unexceptional in every way.

This is not a great beer, and it is not a lousy beer. What it is is the best cheapish domestic I have found in my search for a decent house beer. I love Sam Smith, Fuller’s, Aventinus, Blanche de Chambly and many more. But I am a broke college kid. A college kid needs beer with some regularity, but I don’t often want to go much cheaper than this.

341ml brown bottle. Amber coloured, mild malt aroma. Sweet malt, caramel and some faint roasted malt character.

bottle. copper colour with a small white head. sweet, malty, caramel aroma. It’s actually quite good, though it is quite one-dimensional. sweet flavour.

Probably one of the best beers I’ve had from Big Rock. Nothing complicated. Dark amber colour, thick off-white head fading to a thin lace. Caramel malty aroma, a trace of nuttiness, brown sugar, and chocolate. Flavour is of malty sweet caramel. Not bad.

Medium amber color, off white head. Malty nose. Mild flavor, mainly malt, very little in the way of hops. Light to medium body. Decent.

Clear dark amber-brown. Finger of light tan foam. Fruity aroma. Light body. Straight forward fruity & mildly malty (caramel, brown sugar) flavour. Uninspiring.
