If you love Big Rock beer, you'll find a new favourite in Co-Op Classic Premium Ale. It's our new English-style amber ale, created exclusively for Calgary Co-Op members by Big Rock Brewery. Handcrafted Classic Premium Ale is a delicious blend of Alberta barley, crystal malt, select hops, Rocky Mountain water and special yeast. Batch-brewed with no preservatives or additives, it features the rich copper colour and flavor of a traditional English amber ale. Clean refreshing Co-Op Classic Premium Ale has a distinctive British accent, and a lovely Scottish price tag.

[1] Review by BigBry from Calgary, Canada who has tried this beer once. (8/9/2005 12:53:48 AM)
"Wasn't sure what to expect from this low-cost beer brewed especially for a grocery store chain. Brewed by Big Rock for Co-Op Liquor Stores, it has been heavily advertised with full-color ads in the newspaper. Pours a deep amber or copper (same color as the can), dark and full of color, thick slightly off-white bubbly head, good stability and some lace. A bit of a sweet malt smell, slightly hoppy in the aroma. Overall leaves you with an almost sour smell finish. The taste has a lot of malt, and a little hops at the end, quite well balanced. Leaves you with a sharp almost bitter finish. Smooth mouthfeel, not overly carbonated, dry finish. Not overly complex, maybe a bit thin, but a solid taste with a good price."
