Greene King Ale Fresco

Brewed by Greene King
Style: Bitter
Bury St. Edmunds, England

[Cask at Charlies Bar, Copenhagen] An orange beer with a small light orange head. The aroma is sweet and very fruity, with oranges coming thru, but also well hopped. The flavor is sweet and very fruity - again with oranges coming thru with most power, but also with a lovely dry bitter end and with a smooth body.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, pale amber with a small, white head. Delicate, citrusy aroma. Light body, malty with nutty notes. Short, dry finish. 301005

Cask, handpump @ the Brewery Pub by Green King. Clear, pale amber with a small, white head. Citrus aroma. Light body, malty with nutty notes.

Cask. Nice ctrus hoppy aroma. Almost clear copper colour. Fresh citric fruitiness in flavour. Aftertaste is a little mild, but with OK medium bitterness.

Cask. Dark ambery colour with small head. Aroma is bitter fruits along with slight spicyness and earth. Citrus in the flavour along with lots of perfume, earth and rather soapy hints. Not very nice.

Cask at The Ship, Sandgate, Kent Amber colour, aroma of cinnamon and floral hops, lots of citric lemon flavours in mouth with hoppy lemony finish. The fruit I though was a little artificial and there is not enough about the rest of the beer to balance it.

Clear dark honey color, steady creamy white head. Dish water and rye in the nose. Sourish flavor (cask not in condition), touch of honey, rye, hops. Unbalanced and one to rerate.

This summer beer has a nice golden color and a nice head. The aroma is nicely hopped with notes of citrus. the flavour is crisp and has nice, light notes of caramel, fruit and a bit stronger also citrus. It’s an uncomplicated and delicious thirst quencher without any great depths to explore.
