A smooth ale with a clean, pure and refreshing taste. Warthog's a thirst quenching beastly brew for everyone to enjoy. "Warthog Ale" was changed in name to "Warthog Cream Ale" when Big Rock started using nitrogen to deliver the beer on tap. Otherwise, the beers are the same.

[1] Review by mmmmBeer from Edmonton, Canada who has tried this beer many times. (4/23/2008 2:50:21 PM)
"This review done at my father’s 65 birthday party and the fact the they splurged and got a couple of the Big Rock taster packs instead of their normal cube of Coors Light is a mirical. Body of the brew is brown with a thin film of bubbles floating on top and after 1 min. its all gone, this looks completely flat. Aroma is mild with sweet malts that have traces of milk chocolate, some wood and a faint hint of hops. Strange even though the beer looks completely flat it seems to have an abundance of stinging carbonation that is warming the stomach. Very bready taste with slight lemony hops. Yuck to look at the beer now with not one single bubble on top it looks like I’m drinking brown water. Is that melon I’m tasting? Strange there is nothing special about this beer but its enjoyable, it is one of Big Rock’s better offerings it has a nice light easy drinking flavor that allows you to consume massive quantities in a single evening causing a death cloud of Big Rock morning after gas the next day. Brew got more caramel in the last ounce or two once at room temp. "

"Worst Big Rock investment I have ever made. The pour is dark and the aroma is actually very good, I had large expectations when I dipped my lips to the pint but it came up very short. Will never purchase this beer ever again."

[3] Review by cyrenaica from Milton, Ontario, Canada who has tried this beer once. (1/31/2008 6:27:10 PM)
"341ml bottle
4.5% ABV
I tried this beer on January 31, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto. The beer poured a reddish-brown colour with a thin whitish head. The aroma was stale malt with a little bit of hops. The mouthfeel was medium-thin with high carbonation. The taste was grainy with no detectabe hops or malt."

[4] Review by PaulCardom from Stittsville, Ontario, Canada who has tried this beer once. (12/25/2007 10:52:23 PM)
"This is Big Rock's version of Newcastle Brown Ale, only it's a superior brew in my opinion. The beer is brown with a tan coloured head. The aroma is malty and nutty with a slight hoppy hint. The mouthfeel is creamy with just mild carbonation and a dry bite. The flavour is nutty with a nice hoppish bite."

[5] Review by lenusik from Toronto, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (12/1/2007 4:52:21 PM)
"This is a brown ale like no other..........or at least no other that I have had. It's a reddish brown beer with a small off-white head. The aroma is a little bit of malt and a little bit of brown sugar. It's got a thin mouthfeel. The flavour is a bit thin too. There is a slight bitterness however that makes it all worth while."
