Bottle. [thanks, Patrick]
Pours crazy neon-green with a big, frothy, green-white head. Fine lacings. Sweet malty aroma, some green apple notes, a touch of esters. Highish carbonation, quite watery and mildly dry palate. Flavour is mild, fairly earthy and a bit sugary. Not really too impressive. Fun colour, though.

lusikka (2533) - Tampere, FINLAND - SEP 26, 2010
330 ml bottle @ home. Rated @ 14.7.2010.
Pours a green colour with a medium-sized frothy head. Doesn’t look very tempting. Aroma of herbs, grass and mild hops. Flavour of caramel malts, grass and herbs. Slightly hoppy finish. Why did they add the green colour here?

sayravai (4548) - Helsinki, FINLAND - JUL 25, 2010
(Bottled, sampled 2010-03-10) Bright poisony-green with a smallish, firm and lasting, lacy head, that looks like pear ice cream. Aroma is dominated by pleasant Belgian-style yeast, fruitiness, and grainy-caramely maltiness. Strongly fruity flavor is slightly Belgian-yeasty and pale-malty. A pleasantly balanced and fruity session ale - one of the best you can find in Finnish supermarkets. No E-codes here, despite the cool color!

Archibaldo de la Cruz (844) - FINLAND - APR 25, 2010
Bottle. Bright green colour with a foamy pale green head. Yeasty aroma with some fruits. The flavour is yeasty, malty and fruity. Light to medium-bodied. Not too exciting.

rmasa (324) - Vantaa, FINLAND - APR 19, 2010
Pours green with longlasting light-green head; mild grassy hoppy aroma, also slightly yeasty and fruity; almost medium body, moderate carbonation; flavor starts quite malty, but is soon overcome by grassy and spicy hops; hints of exotic fruits in the finish. This beer is really all about the color - and I don’t even like the color.

Marko (3115) - Split, CROATIA - APR 4, 2010
The last bottle on Easter at the K Supermarket at the Kamppi train station. Poured a jellyish green body with loads of carbonation and a creamy greenish head. The nose is malty and grainy, slightly oily. Malty taste, light, bready, light acidity. Ok, nothing special.

TET (786) - FINLAND - APR 4, 2010
Weird, poison-green colour and almost medium white head. Aroma is pleasant: wheat, sourness, some spicy and lemon. Flavour is similar than aroma, belgian wheats, lemons, yeast and some spicyness. Fresh and quite light to drink with high carbonation, but it fitts nicely within this beer. Refreshning, witbier -like, pleasant and aromatic beer.

Brandman (1067) - Helsinki, FINLAND - MAR 23, 2010
330 bottle. Green body, white head. Aroma has belgian yeast flavours, some spices, little hops and sugar. Has a lot of carbonation and foams in mouth. Not good. Flavour is nice belgian flavour, but a weak one. Why bother to make your beer green? There’s no point.

TBone (9414) - Pori, FINLAND - MAR 23, 2010
Bottled (from K-Kamppi)
Colour is of course bright green like an absinth, steady white head, lace. Yeasty nose has bubblegum and apricot aromas. Flavor has grains, coriander, banana, fruity yeast and orange peel. Quite witbier-like. Medium-bodied, but palate is pretty thin. Well-brewed beer which biggest asset is its color.
