Greene King Brewery Reviews

BeardedAvenger	3.1 Greene King False Nine Cask at Black Prince, New Haw. Aroma is malty butterscotch... vague. Clear gold. Thick foamy white head. Medium bitter. Citrus and herbs. Underlying damp cardboard and boiled veg. Light-medium bodied. Watery..Average carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Bland Golden Ale - twiggy with some underutilised hops.

danwho9	4.5 Morland Original Bitter (Cask) Saturday, June 8, 2024
imdownthepub	3.1 Greene King False Nine Cask conditioned at the White Horse, Overstrand, Norfolk. Gold to amber with white head. This proved to be a pretty basic, malty beer. Sweetish with a hint of apricot, peach. It's okay. Saturday, June 8, 2024
Scopey	2.9 Greene King Abbot Ale (Cask) Cask at Justice Mill, Aberdeen. Asked for something else but I was poured this.... New tick at least. It pours a fairly deep amber - copper with a sturdy off - white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, caramel, toffee, dried fruits, toasted fruit cake and some damp earth. The taste is of a similar ilk... bitter - sweet, dry, earthy, woody, nutty, toffee, caramel, dried fruits / berries and some kind of fairly acrid, ashy bitterness which leaves a funny taste in the mouth through the finish. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. A bit of a mixed bag. Some decent elements to it, but also a weird burnt vibe. Monday, June 3, 2024
kustie	3 Greene King IPA (Bottle, Can, Keg) Amber color with a small off-white head. Aroma has caramel, malt, grass. Taste is malty sweet with a long somewhat bitter aftertaste. Flavors of caramel, malt and grass. Saturday, June 1, 2024
Theydon_Bois	2.8 Greene King Level Head Keg at the Crown, Hazlemere, 01/06/24. Clesr golden blonde with a white head, carbonation evident. Nose is sweet edged citric zest, pale malts, bread dough, almost a buttery edge. Taste comprises orange zest, grass, slightly artificial, airy malts, melon. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with a modicum of hop bitterness. Faux craft ... overly sweet and flabby .. one was enough. Saturday, June 1, 2024
MrTipple	3 Hardys & Hansons Olde Trip (Cask) 06May2024 Sweet grain and cereal malts, bread, floral notes, straw, twigs. Clear, dark brown, tiny, frothy, off-white head. Light bitter. Bitter, grain and cereal malts, bread, toasted biscuit, straw, floral notes, soft carb, med bod. Alright, quite boring. Cask at The Royal Standard of England, Beaconsfield. Wednesday, May 29, 2024
jamestulloch	3.6 Greene King Hazy Day Can, gift from Mum. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Fine carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of Lilt, candied orange and white grape. Flavour of white candy sticks and orange jelly. Thin to medium body with a slick texture. Light fizz. It’s a touch sweet but it’s much better than I thought it would be. Tuesday, May 28, 2024
Xolu	3.2 Greene King Abbot Ale (Bottle and can) Monday, May 20, 2024
dragnet101	3 Ruddles Best (Cask) Cask at The White Swan JDW, Solihull. Clean amber-brown pour with smooth off-white head. No huge flavours but has caramel, bread, light floral and grassy hop with moderate bitter bite. Smooth and easy drinking. Its a below average bitter but at £1.79 a pint for a pleasant enough ale is good value. Sunday, May 19, 2024
MaltPours53	2.4 Morland Old Speckled Hen (Bottle and can) Sunday, May 19, 2024
brexitgiftshop	3.4 Morland Old Crafty Hen (Bottle) Traditional bottle design, unspectacular. Chestnut colour thin head that retains... Fruity deep malty nutty caramel nose. Taste similar (lazy journalism🤣). Aftertaste rather sweet boozy with a little hoppiness luckily. Creamy mouthfeel. May have needed to cool more. Good trad brew. One is plenty though at 6.5%. 50cl bottle Maruhns Pfungstadt. Thursday, May 16, 2024
BlackHaddock	2.8 Morland Old Session Hen Clear 500ml bottle from a local Morrisons store: Drank at home on 14th May 2024.

Thursday, May 9, 2024
berkshirejohn	3.1 Greene King Level Head [On tap at the Mount Stewart Hotel, Port Patrick.] A hazy amber pour with a lasting white head; citrusy aroma; sharpish citrus taste, but rather thin and watery; then some orange peel to finish.
