All winter, Ed McNally nurtures the lime tree in his greenhouse. It reminds him that, every year, for a few short but glorious months, Alberta gets tropical.

With so many options (and such a short patio season) Big Rock is proud to offer a fresh, premium light lager that has just a hint of lime. This is the perfect pairing to the flood of summer activities that Canadians will embrace; Big Rock Lime Lager will be the beer of choice for golfers, campers, patio lovers - anyone who is looking for a refreshing crisp beer with lighter alcohol content

341 ml bottle. Pours a clear pale yellow with a thin white head. Faint aroma of lime and malt. Mild flavour of malt, grain and lime. Light body, thin, watery texture and soft carbonation. Disappointing.

This mess poured a clear yellow colour with a non-existant, white head. Scents include wood and a dark, damp basement. First sip was absolute water with a very weak lime flavou and butter. Finish is nothing but that weird buttery lime flavour.

Got this one at The Works in Ottawa, on tap. Another brewer doing the light lime beer I see. Kind of weird to have this in the middle of winter. Anyways, had to try one. Poured a decent golden colour with average carbonation, but not much head and lacing. Light lime smell with a crisp refreshing mouthfeel. The lime tastes more like real lime juice than syrup (like most bigger brewer doing a light lime beer). So, better than most, and has more of a normal beer taste than a light beer. Kudos for that !

A blonde lager with a thin white head. In aroma, a light mix of lime and malt. In mouth, a light adjunct laced lager with a sharp lime attack, mineral water, boring. Tasted Nov. 6 2009 at Ottawa Wine and Food Show.
