look: 3 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 2

Poured from 500mL green bottle into a pint glass.

Appearance: this beer is as advertised: it's bright goddamn green. There's no haze to the body and a fairly robust effervescence. The head is a finger of frothy pale-green foam. Stylistically accurate: no, not many authentic pale lagers are bright green. Accurate to what the bottle says: absolutely. Attractive: no, but sufficiently novel not to be considered "bad".

Smell: grainy malt aroma with a hint of herby hops. Luckily, the only thing weirdly artificial about this beer seems to be the color.

Taste: sweet malt with a big wet-grain character and minimal bitterness. There's something weird in the sweetness, like maybe there's an artificial sweetner in here or maybe some kind of flavoring? Nothing on the label says anything about added flavors, so maybe this is just a bizarre palate response to the weird color. It's not terrible, but I'm not a fan.

Mouthfeel: medium-light body with a decent carbonation and a refreshing-enough mouthfeel. Not too bad.

Overall: the more I sip on this, the less refreshing and interesting it becomes. I wouldn't want to quaff much more of this even on St. Patrick's Day.

Serving type: bottle
