Today's offering is Big Rock Traditional Ale. This brewery is based in Alberta and as of now, ANBL only carries two Big Rock brews. Only sold in 6 cans, they currently retail at $ 11.98.
This is an English Style ale, pours darker brown with a very light head. You can smell the roasted malts and a few notes of sweetness, mostly caramel. Personally speaking, I was disappointed with this offering. It's not a bad beer per say, but it left me wondering if something was missing.
The taste itself felt watered down... And the taste that was left, felt like a mixture of light hops, sweet-ish malts and tin. I've never been a fan of beer only served in cans, and much prefer the bottled beers and I believe that this one may have fallen victim to the tinny devil of aluminum.
I am not going to steadily recommend this one as one of the best English Ales I've had, but it's also not the worst. Give it a shot if you really want, but if you don't, it's cool.
Rock brews the attempt is a cup of genuine nectar to ease the feelings, set factors all right again.
