Alberta Genuine Draft is brewed using only 100% Alberta grown barley malt, select hops, Rocky Mountain water and special lager yeast. It has a crisp, clean, thirst quenching flavour with no after-taste. It is a new addition to the Big Rock family of high quality beers. Batched brewed.

"ADG.... er... OK.
Ya, it's pretty much junk but what do you expect from something called Alberta Genuine Draft? At least there is no attempt to make this look like something it's not. Yellowish beer producing almost no head - just drink it out of the can. Grain and lots of corn and some metallic aroma, taste is not much different except for some bleck hops. Thin mouthfeel, highly carbonated. Goes down pretty well. It's cheap!"

"This is a very bad product from a craft brewer that is highly reputed in Western Canada. The beer was very pale yellow in colour (enough I thought somebody had pissed in the bottle at the factory. The odour was extremely non-existent. I was scared to drink it but had nothing to worry about, a watery mouthfeel and no taste...how offensive can that be."

[3] Review by pootz from between Calgary and Waterloo, Canada who has tried this beer once. (4/7/2006 7:34:31 PM)
"My impression of this beer may have a lot to do with the environment I tasted it in and the fact I only had one in a desparate need for a beer. I had one at the foot of the glacier in Cameron lake in Waterton park (a beautiful mountain postcard of a place) after a 3 klick hike to the US side of the lake and back...................
Sorry, but I had a can that I poured into a tin cup and the true color may differ from my impression of it being way too pale for a draft type beer. No cap that stayed and no visible lacing. Medium-light body, slick mouthfeel and no rough edges as if smoothed in cold aging process ( although I doubt they could do that at this price)......... The aroma was nearly undetectable but the taste was nice and smooth with a nice bready malt after taste. If they use some adjuncts to cheapen the costs and make this a pogue-boy beer, it was not detectable or well buried in this thin-bodied but malty beer. One of the better draft-style standard mega beers out there.
To me, it came off well for what BR had intended this brew to be....a smooth, mild-tasting draft style affordable beer for chugging on a hot day or after a work out. Workin’ man’s canned draft...does Johnny Paycheck know about this Canuck beer?...He may switch from his Colorado cool-ade ;-)

"Snagged this little gem out of someones case when they were riding the porcelain bus. It actually has a suprisingly good taste for a rather cheap price. If you're tired of drinking Lucky Lager I'd definitely reccomend checking this out."

"An solid little choice, what I liked about it was the price and pure alberta label, good to see the boys in ALBERTA can brew themselfs a tasty treat. We dont see enough of it in Manitoba but hopefully more of it will be coming our way."
