COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
XO Lager is our recipe for a 165 year old pilsner beer style. It has a creamy head and a crisp clean finish. XO's soft delicious balance is accomplished by using Saaz hops from the Czech Republic, one of the most 'noble' hops in the world. The name XO signifies the extra time left to age in our lagering cellars.

I don’t understand why this beer has such a low rating. It’s like all the good of a domestic cheap pil with NONE of the bad. I truly deeply enjoy this beer any day of the week whatever I’m doing. It’s approachable and easy and inoffensive and just plain great. I love Big Rock and I love XO. Anyway, it’s a pale lager and it’s very bready tasting with no bitterness whatsoever. Moreover, this beer out of all beers is the best to drink if you’re legitimately thirsty. Refreshing and delicious. Good job Calgary.

I enjoy most of what Big Rock puts out, and even though I’m not a pilsner fan this one was surprisingly tasty and easy on the taste buds. Go Big Rock
