COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Big Wave is a light golden ale with a subtle fruitiness and delicate hop aroma. A smooth, easy drinking refreshing ale. The lightly roasted honey malt contributes to the golden hue of this beer and also gives a slight sweetness that is balanced out by our special blend of hops.

I had this one a long time ago. If I have the chance to drink it again, I’ll update this rating

patricks110 (815) - Alberta, CANADA - JAN 23, 2012
Pretty bland, but still okay session brew. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dies instantly. Grainy and slightly sweet nose with a hint of grass and hops. A light taste with grainy malts and a bit of citrus hops. Light body on this one. This is a grainy, bland and boring brew.

[Tap] Pours a clear golden color with a quickly receding white head. Aroma is of cereal malts and light honey sweetness. Cereal malts, sweet grain and mild grassy hops. Hints of fruitiness comes out in the taste as it warms. The body is OK for what it is, but a little on the light side otherwise. Highly carbonated. Pretty standard.

Bottle. Golden beer with an off-white head. Malt and light caramel aroma. Malt and light caramel flavor with some light toastiness. Medium bodied. Malt and light toastiness lingers with light caramel.

boFNjackson (2705) - Portland, Oregon, USA - AUG 23, 2011
Bottle... Poured golden orange hue with a thin head that dissipated quickly. On par for the style: light, crisp, easy drinking. Honey sweetness, barley malt, and earthy hops contribute to most of the flavoring. Also a tropical fruitiness creeping in there.
