16oz glass at State & Main Southgate in Edmonton. One of their two mainstay house brews, which the otherwise helpful bartender described as 'essentially Grasshopper' - I wasn't about to argue.
This beer appears a clear, bright pale golden yellow colour, with a thin cap of wispy, faintly foamy dirty white head, which leaves a touch of remote island group lace around the glass as things slowly drop away.
It smells of weak pale grainy malt, a bit of corn on the cob, diluted chlorine, ethereal light orchard fruit, and an equally tame earthy, leafy bitterness. The taste is semi-sweet, gritty pale malt, some wet white saltine cracker, a bit of locker room floor astringency, stale banana and apple fruit esters, an unwelcome phenolic yeastiness, and still bland weedy, dead leafy hops.
The carbonation is quite understand in its wan and hard to detect at times frothiness, the body medium-light in weight, and not particularly smooth, the inherent cut corners perhaps the culprit. It finishes off-dry, plain and simple in its mixed malt sweetness.
Nothing to see here, folks, just another under performing house lager from Big Rock. Yeah, it could be AGD or the like, but good luck in extracting that information from anyone associated with this only slightly upscale restaurant chain.
