355ml can. Pours a crystal clear gold with a thin, fizzy, short lived, white head that fully dissipates. Faint aroma of grainy malt and corn. Sweet flavour of grainy malt, corn and bitter grass in a dry finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and soft carbonation. Borderline gross.
gave a cheers!

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.

Hazy yellow colour. Slight uric aroma with creamed corn background. Very light palate, almost the marshmallowy sweetness of a weizen. Has some light corn and sugar notes, like the crust of a pastel de choclo. Finishes almost candyish. Surpringsly drinkable, considering.
Not sure which is more disagreeable...the can which is a direct ripoff of the Bowen Island cans (hey, Big Rock, you sold the brand and now you rip them off, wtf?) or the fact that they invent a brewery (Pine Creek?) rather than just admitting that this is a Big Rock beer. In fact, I’m probably more annoyed that our government lets them get away with it, that our government lets them flat-out lie to the public, than the fact that Big Rock does it.
