A light green, incredibly smooth and very drinkable beer, rich in both malt and hop aroma. Specially brewed for springtime (beer) lovers.

Pale green. No head. Light , malty, citrus, lingering hops.
Not bad despite the green colour!
Great session ale.

Cask conditoned at The Lord Rosebery, Scarborough. ABV was 4.6%. The barman asked me: "Are you SURE you want this beer? - its GREEN!" - even though I ordered merely a half pint. He also offered me a free sample of a few centiliters first, to see if I liked it. Of course I insisted on trying it, and asked if he by "green" meant that the cask was too "young" and shouldnt have been put on yet. But no, green was indeed the actual colour of the beer - poisonous green, you might say. Creamy white head with a greenish hue. Moderate aroma where nothing stood out. Moderately fruity flavour with a dry finish. Drinkable, but the green colour is just a gimmick - I would rather have a beer with a more pronounced aroma and richer flavour.

Tasted by half-pint at my local JDW pub, the Half Moon, East End London.
A: as the name of the beer didn't prepare me with what likely appearance the beer might have to resemble a tiny sing of spring, the colour really stunned me at first... jade-green to absinth-green... coming without beer head, just a rimmed foam, looking most different!! I can't help suspecting if hemp was added to it? just like what I tasted last year at the Pivovarsky Dum, Praha.
S: fresh hops with a mild bite of vegetation or green plant... hard to describe but quite mild, adding to a clean-textured pale maltiness and its mild sweetness. Not bad really~~
T: following an initial flow of soothingly malty entry, there comes a flow of chewy bitterness of leafy herbs and Goldings... leaving superbly lingering hoppyness, a dryish edge of roasty malts, and a weird tinge of rubbed grass (with a scent of sharp-scented herbs, a bit like mint-leaves) in the end...
M&D: a very interesting beer with a refreshing texture and light body, yet the confusing name leaves me wondering if real herbs are added to the brew? I might be mistaken for thinking they are--even if there isn't any, this is still an easy-drinking and reasonably tasty bitter alright~~
