Green Valley Brewing Wild Hop Lager

Brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev

St. Louis, Missouri USA

Well. No idea what the purpose of this is. Only barely hoppy. Light lager body and flavor. So it’s organic. Light head & no lace. Not much finish. Borrrrr ring. Maybe pesticides would have given it a little more character.

What the hell? This is a much better beer than these reviewers are giving it credit for! Forget the ’organic’ schtick, it’s a well made, malty lager with some subtle sweetness. 11%! Shame on the snobs who tanked this beer!

On tap at Pirate’s Tavern in Portland. Pours straw yellow, clear. One-finger head. Vapid nose of mild grains. This beer is certified organic. organic but quite boring and uneventful.

12oz brown bottle. This one pours a nice translucent amber with a thin film of off-white head. Smells slightly like caramel malt. Tastes sweet like caramel, chocolate and coffee malt with a hint of hop bitterness toward the finish. Not overpowering certainly, but a nice balance of subtle flavors. Lighter in body with a generous bit of carbonation, though it’s just slightly sticky or lingering. Overall a decent beer, though not the best example of the style. Not bad.

This beer pours a golden yellow with a small white head. It has that skunky bud(rice) smell like a normal domestic american lager. It was sorta bland to drink, like a bud on steroids?? but that is not saying much. Will I buy this? NO. Thankfully I didn’t buy this one! Cheers

Copper pour with a short lived head and perfect clarity. Leafy aroma, with some stale sweet malt hints. Bubbly carbonated body with a horrible metallic hint from the attempt at the hop character and some papery cheap malt. Finish is clean with almost no bitterness. Not enjoyable at all.

Roasted yellow color with small head. Very light hint of hops on the nose. Could not find it when I tasted it though. Little roasted malt flavor, and nice clean finish. Not that bad.
