Light amber color, medium sized tight creamy head. Acceptable aroma, grassy, lightly herbal hops. Light body with a musty hop and very clean finish. Nicely drinkable low alcohol beer. Has some "mild ale" qualities. A real drinker.

Nice colour but the one that i tried was a little skunky. With that aside, a sharp initial taste with lingering hops. Dry finish. Average beer. Get rid of the green bottles and the skunkyness and it may be better.

Pale, yellow colour. Fluffy head, nice lacework. Grainy aroma. Thin & bland flavour. Could be mistaken for Heineken or Carlsberg or Fosters or Lapin Kulta or.................

Light blond color. Light straw aroma. Very simple, with a light hay and honey taste. Too simple.

This beer has a nice hoppy and sweet aroma. And it has a beutiful godlen color and a fine head, though it disappears a little too fast. The taste is a nice crisp sweet one, turning slightly bitter, and ending with a prickling on the tongue. A nice pilsener.

Pale golden colour. Grassy aroma with hints of pale malt. Mild bitterness with grassy notes and again a light, balancing pale malt. Fairly dry finish. I haven’t had this in over 12 years, and I’m pretty surprised. Much hoppier than you’d expect from a national lager brand, it’s on a par with the lighter German pils like Beck’s or Warsteiner and depending on the relative freshness, could easily surpass them. Green Bullet is a unique hop to us non-antipodeans and its character can be likened to Nugget on the bitterness side and a dull, thudding noble offshoot in terms of flavour.
