Handwritten notes: Thank you Big Rock and thank you Jesus. This is perhaps the best Big Rock product of recent memory. A Nice hoppy and spicy guy, and downright handsome too. I wonder if he has a sister... or, failing that, a pretty brother. Maybe the best Canadian beer along side the Half Pints IPA and Mill Street Tankhouse. This tastes like a genuine Ale, not some rip-off Irish Ale and not some steely Canadian attempt at it either. Well played. It's not stupid on the booze either, despite its high ABV it maintains its full un-violated flavour.
