Big Rock Brewery Brewmaster’s Limited Edition Wai-Iti Wheat Ale American Pale Wheat Ale at 6.0% ABV (C$2.00 at South Trail Calgary Co-Op, 330 ml, no bottle date or best before)
Appearance: slightly hazy medium gold with two fingers of rocky ivory head, excellent retention and lacing. (5/5) Aroma: tropical fruit, citrus, grassy, wheat. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderately strong bitter. (8/10) Medium body, moderate carbonation, lingering bitter finish. (4/5)
This has to be one of the tastiest and bitterest Big Rock beers I’ve tried to date, but the flavour profile is completely unlike what I was expecting. This is described as a “wheat ale”, so I was expecting something like a witbier – but this is much more like an APA or even an A/IPA, with mild wheat underneath. (16/20)
