A friend of mine had one of these kicking around. He called it magic beer. All i knew was that it was produced by big Rock. This is easily one of my worst beer experiences ever. Aroma of crap. Flavour of sour corny flavour. Overall, this beer is terrible.

Poured out of the can and it has a an electric yellow colour with a quickly disapearing head. The aroma is sweet with a hint of something foul in it... possibly manure. Taste is sickenly sweet with a strong alcohol finish. Poorly made budget beer... unless your homeless, avoid this one.

A single can found when picking up a couple of sixes for a BBQ. Disguised as Pine Creek Brewing who ironically share the same Postal Code as Big Rock. Fairly carbonated. Very thin head. Musty aroma with hint of alcohol. Aftertaste of the first sip is so bad I don’t want another. Subsequent sips aren’t as bad as the palate adjusts. Sweetish but raw with a musty bad finish.

A light golden lager with a thin white dissipating head. A sweet corney aroma. In mouth, a sweetish concoction, with light hopping, and overall, bland and cloying. Beurk....Bought in Edmonton, Jan. 2007.

Picked this up as a single can when I was in the Lake Louise liquor store by the visitor center. Clear golden yellow with a moderate foamy white head. Sweet grainy aroma, a little stinky. Bland sweet palate that is faintly tinny. Once again, the "can-only" malt liquor proves to be the dregs of the industry.
