Greene King Hop (Formerly The Beer To Dine For)

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

Nice clear bottle proudly displaying its light golden color (when I saw this on the table of beers at Rich’s Yeha, I thought it was a cider until I read the label). Poured with a small sized white head. Aromas and tastes of grass with a light malty sweetness. Thin body.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Pale gold, high carbonation. Light aroma, slightly sweet and a touch stale. Flavour is thin malt, boiled sweets, stale and somewhat bitter, weak hopping levels. Stupid light struck beer.

Golden orange color, head diminishing quickly, light sweet flavor, slightly bitter, too carbonated, but its an okay beer

Aroma/Malty-Ligth, Appearance Head/size-small, Head/Color-White brown, Head/Longevity-fully diminishing, Body/Hue-light, Initial Flavor/bitter moderate, Finish Flavor/bitter ligth, Palate Body/light OK beer.

Bottle 0,75 L. Frothy fair mostly deminishing head. Yellow colour. Lots of hops and malt in aroma and flavour. To carbonated.

Blind tasting session, Bottled. Oops! Greene King, clear bottle. No way this is going to be tasty! But I didn’t have this disadvantage, because it was a blind tasting session and I bet it would score higher if more had rated it this way. Aroma of grapes and green apples but also malty and flowery. Sweet, maybe even a bit too sweet, light fruity sourness, light bitter start but certainly pretty bitter in the finish which is dry of course. In the flavor also the malts and flowers.

Lovely gold colour, white head & nice lacework.Fragrant,flowery hop aroma,medium bodied, slightly sweet malty palate,with the hoppy flavours appearing quickly. The whole mellows to a nicely balanced finish.I didn’t have it with food but it would go well with a lighlty spiced dish. Tesco.

Bottle
Light pine& herbal hop aroma. Pale yellow, low head. Papery malt, light hops. Watery exit. Boring.
