IrishBoy (2211), Bakersfield, California, USA Mar 9, 2008 500ml bottle from Country Club Liquors; Nose of apple and alcohol, smellas like a cider; lightly hazy dark gold with a big white head; flavor has some apple, grain, and a touch of yeast. Not as good as their Dubbel! If I had to drink gluten free it would be OK but the Dubbel is better!
tronraner (1482), Maryville, Tennessee, USA Dec 2, 2008 Bottle. Pours a hazy brass color with soapy white head. The aroma is strangely full of apples, with some faint spice, flower, and zest notes. The flavor is also heavy on the apple. There are some woody notes after that, then some spicy yeast. The mouth is quite tingly. It finishes medium-dry with a stale-ish floral note. Not particularly impressive. Cybercat (470), Georgia, USA Nov 26, 2008 Though I have been disappointed by other Green’s offerings, I decided to give this one a try, and I am glad I did.
Color is a clear orangy-amber, nothing special but not off-putting. Aroma is crisp and fruity, more on a cider than a beer, a little sweet but not cloying. Flavor is perky, fruity and a little sour, with a nice alcohol zing; it tastes like a mixture of cider and sake - different, and not in a bad way. Texture is smooth and pleasing, a teensy bit watery but not too shabby. Shag (1811), Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA Oct 21, 2008 This poured a golden color with a large white head. The aroma contains a bit of lemons with some perfume notes. The flavor contains some cooked veggies, sour apples, sugar, and lemons. Overall this beer was odd but not horrid. hopscotch (4679), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Oct 2, 2008 Bottle... Hazy light golden ale with a small, wispy, white head. The aroma is very restrained. Sake, fuzzy fruit and ethanol are the only traces I can pull from the glass. Medium-bodied, lightly creamy and very effervescent. The flavor is a fruity, moderately bitter marriage of Perry and floral hops. Crisp, tangy, fruity finish. DocLock (4175), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 30, 2008 Bottle. Pours hazy gold with 3-finger fizzy white head. Nose is pear, apple, yeast. Tastes fizzy dry and champagny, with mild metallic notes, plus florals, slight berry, and pear. Tastes carbonated, slightly metallic, with slight berry and pear flavors.
