Great, another lager in a green glass bottle, just what the world needs. But I am here to approach things with an open mind. Besides a single bottle of Heineken is just as expensive.
330ml-->Mug
Appearance- Medium Golden Body, a moderate head and average head retention. Pretty average which is good. The expiration date is printed on the bottom of the body.
Smell- Average Lager, but more of a malt body in the nose and slight hops.
Taste- A bit of malt, which is caramel and slightly bitter. The hops are mainly there for the smelling and only noticeable at the front end of each sip.
Mouthfeel- Wow this a big shock, its a medium full bodied lager. The classic slickness is still there and a medium carbonation. I knew they existed but in green bottles?
Drinkability- Average for a lager, just let me burp from the carbonation, "upt".
It was a pleasant try and surprise. I would buy it again. A decent craft lager. I would take this green bottled beer over the others.

Pours and attractive and clean light amber colour with a small but firm white head on top.
Sweet nose with biscuit and honey like aromas. No real hops to be seen. Pleasant, yet very one dimensional and simple.
Refreshing palate with good lager flavours. Grain based flavours with only a touch of bitterness. Falls a bit short, really missing out on any crispness.
Mouth feel is full yet short. Creamy carbonation is good.
Certified organic beer, which I guess if your into it your going to like it either way. To me it is well made (good mouthfeel, just lacking flavour) but not something I'll seek out again.
