Fresh from the prairie hoppers, our Grasshopper wheat ale has a crisp finish, balancing its soft sweetness with fruity and bready notes.

On tap at Big Rock in Seoul. Very clear for a wheat beer, nice fluffy head. Served with a slice of lemon so a citrus aroma. Not too good flavor, a bit sour with just a hint of spice but pretty bland. Red Rock reminds me of your average Japanese craft brewery, making kind of bland beers but then again maybe that’s only the beer available in Seoul.

Bouteille 341ml. De couleur dorée et légèrement voilée. Nez de blé, léger de caramel butterscotch avec des notes de miel, de grains, de houblon herbeux et de fruits (citron). Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture légèrement aqueuse. Faibles notes fruitées (citron) lors de l’entrée en bouche rapidement suivi d’un moyen goût de blé aux petites notes acides, un léger goût de grains de céréales sucrées avec des notes de miel et quelques traces de caramel puis en finale l’on retrouve une très légère amertume de houblon herbeux. Post-goût court, composé de notes de blé et de houblon herbeux.

Originally rated September 2005. This wheat ale pours a golden colour with light carbonation. Its white head is decent, leaves lacing and has good retention. The aroma is mostly wheat, but quite mildly. Slight wheat at the beginning of the taste and finishes with a mild grain malt/corn mouth, into the aftertaste. Decent summer brew, but prefer the Upper Canada wheat instead.

Tasted at Bier Markt, Toronto on 10 July 2011. Filtered wheat beer on tap. Clear yellow color with small with foamy head, no discernible aroma, slight taste of hops, medium carbonation, abrupt finish. Not very distinctive.

Canned (thanks Rosenbergh!). Yellow colour, small head. Aroma is fruits, wheat, grass and some slight cardboardy notes along with some mild caramel notes. Flavour is quite similar with some slight citrusy notes as well.

Pale golden coloured body with a thin white head and nice bubbles coming from the bottom. Pleasant subdued aroma of wheat, coriander seed and a bit of spices. Medium-bodied; Nice mild wheat and yeast flavours with some other spices noticeable and a bit of a fruityness at the end. Aftertaste is a bit funky with some odd wheat coming through and no sweetness or anything else pleasant. Overall, a good beer and an interesting drink to have in the middle of winter at a Mexican restaurant in Banff!!! I sampled this beer on draught at Magpie & Stump in Banff, Alberta on 30-December-2008.
