An organic ale named after Greg Higgins of Higgins restaurant in downtown Portland. Greg is brewed without hops and makes use of the kambocha (green pumpkin) squash for about one-third of the total sugars, lending it a distinctly squashy, pumpkin taste. This beer is available on draft at Higgins, at the brewery and occasionally elsewhere in the Portland area.

Sampled from draught at Borefts 2019. Pours a hazy pale golden (or orange/pinkish) color and a white head. Aroma's: fruit, grain, a bit Rivella or so, soda-ish. Retronasal there's sweet fruit, grain, herbs. Flavor is moderate sweet, wort, fruit. Light bodied. Short finish.

Greg is a really unique beer. It's a ruddy grey washed pale looking beer with a nose and flavor that really captures the squash influence. A fun, unique, and easily drinkable offering, but probably not a good choice for the less adventurous type.
Cheers.

Draft at taproom. Hazy golden pour, small ring of head. Aroma is lighter, but hints at the squash. Taste adds a bit of bitterness from the squash, very mild, but savory. Nice consistency. Pleasant.

On tap at Hair of the Dog Brewery and Tasting Room, "From the Stone," served in a stemmed 3 oz glass. Hazy, bright golden yellow with a brief, frothy head of white foam that leaves nice streaks of lace. Gentle aroma of light malt, tart fruit and slight earth. Flavor unfolds a lean, slightly sweet, bready malt body with tart fruit and vegetal notes rounded by earthy mineral notes. Light body with medium carbonation. A unique flavor profile that stays light and refreshing. Hops are clearly absent, but not necessarily missing.

Beautifully hazy pale, wine-like effervescence. It smells lightly sweet and fruity.
The mouthfeel is sparkly and fun, and the taste is odd. Vaguely tart with a fruity sweetness. Excellently balanced. Fun, good beer!
