Green’s, Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA. 500 mL bottle. $3.99.
Very light orange pour that is very clouded – chill haze and some sediment? Medium head, but some nice lace.
Quite a sweet, grainy nose. The hop character here is a bit out of whack for me. I get a bitterness that although in check, seems to be a little too big for the malts present. It’s harsh in context, not necessarily overly harsh in general. A little dry aftertaste, not quite in line. Smooth in the mouth, carbonation is at a good level. I also got a touch of sweet fruit – pineapple??
Another beer that would be better much better under these circumstances;
(a) Fresher,
(b) Closer to the source
(c) In the keg or cask
I’m not sure about this, it’s lacking something but I can’t quite put my finger on it. In the meantime it’s a decent if not spectacular English style bitter.
