Greene King St Edmunds (Bottle)

Brewed by Greene King
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Bury St. Edmunds, England

Bottle. Clear appearance with fairly strong presence of citrus. My first impression was that this was a pretty pleasant beer but it had no staying power and finished up being quite bland. Ultimately disappointing.

Bottled. Golden colour, not much head. aroma is wood, some hops and mild citricness. Also a slight metallic ege to it. Flavour is malts, some rather harsh flowery hops and not much else. Grassy bitterness in finish.

Clear golden with tiny white head. Sweet and fruity aroma with discrete hoppy and citric notes. Sweet flavor with floral hops. Ends mild bitter.

courtesy of Laurent Mousson - transparent bronze colour, no foam left; very citrusy, flowery aroma; high carbonation hiding a poor malt body; fizzy fruity finish - dubious

Bottle. Aroma of honey and some skunky hops. Thin lace around glass, golden colour. Slight flavour of hops. Very thin texture. A little citrus but thats about it.

Bottle. Golden beer with a mildy toffee aroma. The flavour is plainly bitter. Overall a plain beer.

Bottle. Dull gold with a small head. Aromas are hoppy and dry with biscuit malts. Hintrs of chocolate with sulphur and nuts. Flavours are dry and peppery with biscuit malts. Some citrus with hints of nuttiness. Quite gritty. All very flat and mediocre.

A light, sugary golden beer. Not much character. Some lager hops. Drinkable and mostly inoffensive. Some caramel notes lift it above the basic pale lager, but this is an unremarkable beer.
