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.
