Well I thought it was pretty nice. Certainly the best thing from AB that I have tried. So I won’t play the "kick the Macro" game. I’ll give it a honest rating.

12oz bottle. Golden body with small white head. Nose was rather flat. Well, taste was nothing great either.

Draught. Clear dark golden color with thin foamy white head that didn’t leave much lace. Aroma was graham cracker, subdued malty caramel, and a whiff of grassy hops. Dry on the tongue. Body was on the light side. Tasted bland overall with light grain and a hint of sprucy hop. A real snoozer.

Green Valley Brewing Wild Hop Lager 12 oz bottle Recent brewing, force fed 11/06 Medium pour in a tulip glass Poured a clear copper with an average sized fizzy white head that flattened quickly into a tiny ring of lacing. Looks flat and uncarbonated halfway through. Smelt of light caramel, dark bread, and herbs. Taste was upfront light caramel and bread tones followed by a moderate hop awkward herbs and metallic bite on a slightly toasted malt finish of average length. Light bodied, watery, fizzy, metallic and slightly astringent. Overall, this is just a bland beer with some attempt at taste. Finish is more awkward than a crag-climbing gangly adolescent on stilts.

This is like training wheels to actually drinking good microbrewed beer. AB’s watered-down but drinkable answer to Samuel Adams.

12 oz Bottle. Aroma of peanuts. Golden body decent head may have been best part of beer. Toasted grain corn flavor. Drinkable but this is a kind of beer that people are talking about when you lose interest in rating and wonder why waste your time.

Somewhat lame attempt for AB to get in on the craft beer and organic bandwagon. The name is somewhat of a joke,its a slightly bumped up Michelob,nothing really offensive about it,would take this over a regular Bud,but come on AB,you can do better

Some bad beers need to be avoided because they just plain hurt to drink. This is not one of those. It is fairly painless but at the same time completely unrewarding. Fine to drink if cold and free, unlike many other bad beers.
