full for a summer beer, pours golden with decent hops on the nose and the finish. Not mind boggling but solid.

Sep 27, 2008 Draught at brewpub in Halifax, billed as Green Man Organic Ale. Clear amber, small beige head, lacing. Diacetyl in aroma blended with some fruit. Already not as inviting as the other Granite beers. Served quite cold and has fairly high carbonation. Refreshing but painfully thin and lacking body and structure. Slight lemony tartness and good hoppy aftertaste but not all that great considering.

Aug 10, 2008 Objectively speaking:
Simply put, a lighter, summer take on their ringwood ale.
I like:
Clean character all throughout. Fairly lasting white cover.
I dislike:
Rather useless beer. More or less without aroma. The ringwood feels light enough as it is. Clearly not aimed at beer geeks, but dull all the same.

Jul 14, 2008 Cask sample at the Victory - poured a slightly hazy, lazy glowing golden hue with a small thick white head. Soft aromas of sweet grain and some faint hop presence. Flavours all fairly subtle - everything’s in place and well-balanced, but it’s all a bit too faint. If this were amped up a notch or two, it would be fantastic, but as it stands, it is a refreshing, quaffable summer ale. Would get again on a hot summer day.
