Not as good as Stone Mill but still not that bad. The title of the beer is ’wild hop’ though i was surprised to discover that it didn’t taste very ’hoppy’. Still worth a try.

So we were fooled by the stealth label but not the beer. Soapy, bland, just not quite right. Want organic, get some milk. What flavor there was was not well balanced. No head to boot.

(Bottle) Pours a golden color with a light hoppy aroma. Taste includes nothing offensive (which is very unlike anything else I’ve had from AB). Light malty flavor with a moderately weak palate. Having said that, this beer is better than their Stone Mill Pale Ale.

Un-exciting. Not very hoppy, but not a sour beer. It is an interesting concept to use only organic ingredients, but maybe they should have found the ingredients that have some flavor.

Wild hop is definitely a misnomer. Aroma has hints of piney hops but hop flavor is completely absent. Watery straw flavor, sharp carbonation. Overall, kinda disappointing.

From a six pack from Woodman’s. Great to have more organic choices, bit I found this lager somewhat disappointing. Low hop flavorbut better than most Anheuser Busch choices

12oz bottle. Aroma is of light perfume hops with white grapes, apple, and pear. Average foamy, white, head fully diminished but left a fair lace. Medium yellow/amber body. Flavor is lightly sweet with a short finish. Palate is light and watery with a soft carbonation. You might think that the aroma sounds good but you’d be wrong. Those aromas were there but also with a hint of organic fertilizer. This is probably what hippy chicks smell like. I’d avoid

12oz bottle. Pretty decent hot weather refresher, especially considering its from AB. I find everything organic to be gimmicky and mostly a scam to raise the price, this included, though not overly so. This beer was very drinkable. Mild malt aroma, drank from the bottle so I can’t attest to the appearance. Flavor was average to good, and that’s miles ahead of the average American macro lager. A nice spicy, peppery, hop character and a very light bitter aftertaste. Give AB credit for at least putting out a brew that’s well up from the average American macro swill.
