i recall having that beer at the NSLC a few years back. Nothing really stood out to me. I'm thinking you'd get close with a 50/50 or 60/40 wheat/pale malt bill. Their website lists the hops as Willamette and Saaz. I would lean toward 18-22 IBU with Willamette to bitter and a small Saaz addition at 15 minutes. I'd likely go with US-05 to bitter.

on a side note:
big rock is the biggest brewery here in alberta. recently (last 6 months) they are my go to brewery as they have been coming out with really top notch brews at craft levels. much better than some of the local smaller breweries.

They don't bottle, but go to Last Best Brewing And Distilling in Calgary! They are stellar! Their rum aged imperial porter is amazing (actually they do note that one, the only one).
