3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Martinus (1777) - Nijmegen, NETHERLANDS - JAN 23, 2013
Slightly hazy green colour, white head. Aroma of citrus, yeast, apricot, only very mild green tea. Light sour flavour, light sweet, fruity, citrus. Light sour finish, light astringent, guess that’s where the tea comes out.
Nice colour.
The 4th beer in the Fantôme tasting spree.

Sampled from bottle @ RBBWG 2013. WTF! The beer is green!!! Is it beer? Who’s the joker here? No, really?! C’mon! It smells the way it looks: like dishwasher-water. Taste? Ok, it’s doable, yeast and saison-like, a bit sweet. Medium body and carbonation.

Bottle from Etre Gourmet. Pours hazy greenish with a huge rocky white head. Aroma is sweet fruity syrup, cloying. Taste is strange sweet with an astringent bitter taste . Not my cup of tea.

750mL bottle from trade with illidurate. Cheers, Dave! Pours a clear green (no exaggeration) with a white head. Nose is green tea, some mild funk, some lemon, citrus, pepper, and yeast. Flavor is similar with green tea and funk followed by lemon and yeast. Light to medium in body and lingering tea on the finish.

Pretty foul cheesy/stale flavor and aroma. Second time I’ve tasted this; maybe both were "bad bottles"--but two bad bottles is a lot.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 OmegaX (971) - Florida, USA - DEC 7, 2012
What a crazy brew! Thanks Mark, for sharing. Nose is big lime/kiwi with some light funky/bret notes along with an herbal quality. This one poured out a wildly neon green with a white head. Pretty cool! Taste is lightly tart, light green tea, some lemon/citrus, kiwi, and a light herbal finish. Very unique and good.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20 tquest (91) - BELGIUM - DEC 6, 2012
Hm... A green beer, a clear green beer, wtf? Is this some kind of simpsons radioactive beer? Clear at first, then cloudy light medium green with a big head. Weird, really weird. Smells fruity, sweet. Apple, kiwi?
Taste is very refreshing, bit sweet but not too much, phew. Nice carbonation taste. Good, but kinda boring. Shouldnt drink this in the winter but on a hot summer evening, still got another bottle left though.
