1.1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 4/20
Single can purchased from Paradise Liqour in Edmonton, AB on 07/22/2011. Colour: Pale yellow, no head. Nose: Smells like malt liqour, abundant gingerale, rotting egg. Taste: Medium sweet, medium-light bitter, light sour. Again gingerale but flat and stale. Quickly fades to bitter cardboard. Absolutely attrocious. Embarrased that Big Rock would make such crap - but now understand why they have the affiliate brewery name "Pike Creek" attached to the can...

Generosity abounds on x-mas day! Though this might not quite deserve it... I’m going to give a few points here. This is really more like beer flavoured water that still has enough % to get the job done but there really isn’t much to go on, it is so damn thin. It’s not actually offensive though, and I’ll never forgive Banks Carribean lager for itself.
0.6 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
This beer is the favorite of pathetic old alchies wiith jobs in my town. Pours piss yellow.Aroma is horrible. stinks like the smell of whiskey coming out of your pours after a morning of hard drinking. The flavour is very light and very cheap. almost like a slightly yeasty tasting glass of water. not offensive, this beer is drinkable but it’s just plain terrible.
1.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
Horrible beer. Absolutely no reason why I will ever consume this again. Pour is pale yellow and foamy white head. Tastes like someone peed in my mouth and mixed it with beer. Overall, pretty gross.
0.6 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20
Pours a light yellow, a lighter yellow than most pale lagers. Has a weird almost translucent white head. Sour nose with cream corn and grass. Tastes like that taste about an hour after you’ve thrown up. Gross!!! Sour, corny and just aweful! Man that’s gross. Avoid ths one it is bad.
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
A pale yellow lager with a thin white head. Pissy aroma with corn adjunct and light sulfur. In mouth, a chalky malt with faint hopping, mineral, a bit oily. Can. Bought in a non descript liquor store on Jasper Ave in Edmonton, for 2.50$....rip-off.
2.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Light hoppy aroma, very pale in colour, small head that disappears very quickly, very thin in texture, fresh and hoppy taste, not much of an aftertaste. This isn’t an overly good beer - but its not bad either.
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bought a single can for $0.75 from the shopping cart in Willow Park. The best of the three cheapies (the others were AB Genuine Draft and Alta Light), all made by Big Rock even though this can says different (I agree with Oakes’ rant, see below). Clear golden yellow, fresh grainy aroma with a clean palate that is on the sweeter end. Not bad at all, and miles ahead of the Alberta Genuine Draft in my opinion, but still in the end a low-end, cheap, can-only generic pale lager.
