I suppose others may have had a bad bottle, but I’m lucky - I can get it straight from the source in downtown Raleigh. I have, in fact, never had it bottled. Greenshields is a gratifying beer on-site, with a smooth, strong flavor and a fair color. I recommend it to visitors - we locals already know...

uh oh, i have a feeling what ive been thinking was "bad bottles" of beer, is actually the beer. all of these beers smell the same, fruity and sour smelling like a jolly rancher. its amber in color, but for gods sake, is this a beer? there is no presence of hops, malt, whatever you think is in beer, doesnt appear to be in this. its not very good, i dont think i would recommend anyone to drink anything from this brewery. this beer is horrid. i think i liked their ipa actually, but all the others ive had, are sir- not worth a fuck.

Yuck! sour!!! is that how it supposed to taste? almost like drinking vinegar? thought I had a bad bottle from my monthly BeverageBistro.com initially, but when the next bottle tasted just as awful...I guess it’s not the place, but the beer!!

Medium brown color, Large head. Aroma is malty, nutty and sweet. A medium bodied amber. Malts are nutty and sweet. Hops are slightly spicy. This beer is a touch lactic, possibly infected. This is also the 2nd beer from this brewery that has this ‘quality’. Otherwise it’s pretty much a run of the mill amber. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter and a touch sour

(draft) Clear amber with off-white head. Aroma is mild sweet, some herbal, some pepper. Taste is peppery, medium sweet, some herbal, finishes grassy/herbal. Light/medium body, quite quaffable.
