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.

Available 2/21/06 at Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats in Rehoboth Beach, DE, and soon-thereafter at Dogfish Head Alehouse in Gaithersburg, MD and other great draft-beer bars! 5.5% abv 25 IBU

Absolutely brilliant! I had this on draught at the LI Beer Fest friday, Even before drinking you can smell the wonderful aroma of the spirulina! I loved this, excellent translucent green colour with a nice bright white head!

On tap at Spuytin Duyvel. The coolest looking beer I’ve ever seen poured. Shamrock green and crystal clean with a thick lime-jello coloured head. Aroma is pretty appealing, soft toasted malts with some clean noble hops backing them up. A kiss of minty herbal aroma that I assume comes from the spirulina. Flavour is well-balanced, light toasty sweetness, noble hops and a very fresh minty finish. Solid brew.

Tap, Sunset Cantina, MA. Interesting beer. Almost fluorescent bluish green color w/ a quickly dissipating head. Well-balanced w/ a smooth finish.

Tap @ Rehoboth. Poured a wierd green almost like absinthe, with a nice fluffy green head. Very wierd to add spirulina, but kinda interesting. Aroma is bready with pils malt, earthy, vegetable like, but not DMS- a wierd vegetable/fruity aroma from the algae. Light but full flavor, malty, light bitter finish, and a seaweed, algae taste kinda similar to the green seaweed used to wrap sushi. THis was a cool yet odd beer to drink, cool idea, but I think some people might be scared by the color. This beer just felt "healthy" for some reason.
