Had a chance to try a Big Rock Grasshopper at a conference in Calgary. The bottle was poured into a tall pilsner glass and did not generate much head. The color was more yellow than golden and the clarity was clear for a wheat beer, which surprised me a little. There was some cirtus notes to the nose, but not overpowering. The taste was good, well balance wheat beer nothing extravagent. The mouthfeel made for a perfect after lawn mowing beer.

A new look at an old beer, haven't had this one since back in the 90s. Typical yellow pour, thin white ring of head above the beer, dissipates quickly. Aroma, lacking a whole lot in that department, what is there is very faint citrus and wheat/grain notes.

Taste, very middle of the road, still a plenty light body. Wheat, no hops, some lemon or orange rind maybe to it. Very easy to drink beer, one of those summer or friend beers to have around. Can't say there is anything wrong with this beer, it just is. Carbonation seems high to give it an even lighter body I would guess. Some fruity metallic notes on the undercurrent if you look for it.

I used to live in Calgary and Big Rock beers I have always found enjoyable. In the summers, I would enjoy a Grasshopper every now and then.
I usually just drink it strait out of the bottle, but it is often on tap at pubs in Calgary.
Pouring from the bottle and into a glass, the head is quick to disappear and there is very little lacing. I find it taste a little on the malty side, which I do not mind. What I enjoy most is there is little aftertaste.
The colour, it appears golden but somewhat pale.
Overall, definitely an enjoyable brew in summer.
