A light coloured and beautiful translucent green premium ale, traditionally brewed using only the finest quality of Stonehenge Spring Water, barley and wheat malts, whole hops and the brewery’s own top-fermenting yeast and a drop of green magic. This beer is incredibly smooth and rich in both malt and hop aroma, the finish is delightfully fruity and pleasantly bitter.

(Cask at HBF2017) The beer poured green and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had sweetness and mildly earth. Palate was light bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, earth and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet and mildly bitter. A poor brew with weird colour.

Cask at Haymarket. Unusual colour, wasn’t expecting is. Clear light green, thin white head. Aromas are herbal, cereal. Taste has a bitter-salad bitterness. Maybe cucumber skin, or rocket. Then a bit thin finish. Interesting.

On cask at the Haymarket. Appearance - lime green. Like a pond. Checking in case there are any frogspawn. Nice white head. Nose - fresh salad and citrus. Taste - endive and other bitter leaves. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - interesting and not a bad beer. Refreshing.
