Commercial Description:
Dogfish Head Verdi Verdi Good was inspred by beers being produced in Southeast Asia, namely Myanmar (formerly Burma) and Thailand. The main type of beer made in that area of the world is akin to the Dortmunder/Export type lagers of Germany. Both Myanmar and Thailand have breweries producing a beer which is their regular production lager with spirulina added. Hence, Verdi Verdi Good was born. Verdi Verdi Good holds true to the Dortmunder style and gains a delightful green color and a subtle organic aroma from the addition of spirulina. Spirulina is a blue green algae prized for its high nutritional protein content.

Clear green, dark with medium green head. Aroma of candy and malt. Flavor is bland malt. Smooth palate.

Draught at the Blue Dog in Lansdale. Clear, ultra-green body with a filmy greenish-white head. The appearance is an appealing novelty. Aroma has an odd cigar quality plus citrus and pineapple. Some tart Kolsch-like qualities with lemon notes. Juicy palate. Very distinct and novel character and a decent, refreshing lawnmower beer.

2006 World Beer Festival in Raleigh, NC. Consecutive 4 oz pours. It sure is green. Small off white head. I can’t say that it looked appetizing but I gotta give them credit for creativity. Decent crisp dortmunder living somewhere under an unpleasant earthy flavor from the algae. Not particularly great but interesting enough to justify trying.
