Bottle. Not a very good beer. I suppose with a name like "Wild Hops" you would expect a strong hoppy taste but not so!. Would not recommend.

The deep coppery color of this beer promised much more than it could deliver. The high carbonation level, slightly sour taste on the tongue and burnt oats aftertaste made this brew mediocre, at best. Try again.

12 oz. bottle, nice try at an end run by AB, but still not much better than the rest of their stuff, tinny flavor with watery finish

Reddish-orange color with quickly dissipating head. Grassy, hoppy aroma. Pretty grassy, slightly herbal, and hoppy taste. Pretty high level of carbonation. Goes down pretty harshly for a lager. Surprised to see Anheuser-Busch behind an organic beer, but then, perhaps that’s why it seems to misfire. I think of lagers as easy drinking beers that go well with spicy or light food, and I don’t think this would work well that way.

I didn’t know it was an ABC product until I came online. Pours hazy golden color with thick crown of soapy foam. Rusty penny aroma. Slick, oily gassy mouthfeel. Pretty balanced: more on the sweet side of things with a slight grassy tinge. Thin, insubstantial, watery and doesn’t hold its own. However, it’s real nice to see organic farming being supported and promoted in whatever way.

Not much of a flavor here. Was really let down.I think I’ll stay away from organic stuff for a while at least.

Somehow I knew this was not going to live up to the phrase "wild hop," but it was even more dissapointing than I had expected. Poured a sparkling clear copper, with thin head. Aroma is nice - sweet hops with some yeast undertones. The flavor falls well short of that. A malty herb biscuit flavor that is flat, watery and boring. This is the second time I’ve fallen for the Green Valley label... won’t happen again.

On tap: Not good at all. Hard to drink because it was so bad. No head at all and a very clear appearance. Tastes like all of the macro lagers. Blah.
