Suttree (7121) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - AUG 1, 2021
UPDATED: AUG 1, 2021 This very green. If you are thinking to yourself “I’d like to drink a very green beer”, then this is for you. It isn’t that great, but it is green. This is my first rating in over a year, btw. How’s everybody doing?

nearbeer (7699) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - JUL 18, 2021
UPDATED: JUL 18, 2021 330 ml. pull tabbed bottle, stamped “YB.A.YD”. Kelly green brew with a pale lime colored topping of foam. Nose of green tea with lemon and honey. Tastes the same plus a bit of grapefruit and then more green tea and mint. Light-medium body has medium carbonation and a good balance.

Thisis12ptfont (2663) - Los Angeles, CA, California, USA - JUL 16, 2021
UPDATED: JUL 16, 2021 Aromas of heavy carbonation green tea matcha grass musty malts and Japanese yeast funk. Taste is funky green tea matcha some faint bitter hops malt funk heavily carbonated malts grass metallic malts and Japanese yeast funk. Overall, it's not bad, it's a col idea. I wonder when it was bottled because it tastes quite malty and funky but the matcha is nice.

Ernest (9030) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - JUL 14, 2021
UPDATED: JUL 14, 2021 Bottle from Tamura's in Kaneohe, Oahu. Head is initially small, frothy, light green, mostly lasting. Body is dark green-blue-amber/brown. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), lightly hoppy (grapefruit, resin), with notes of kale and mint. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, moderately to heavily bitter, unclean. Medium to full body, watery/syrupy texture, lively carbonation, moderately alcoholic. So the American import label claims this contains artificial flavors plus FD&C Blue 1 and FD&C Yellow 5 & 6...because just adding matcha tea powder would be too easy and too natural. Ugh, what a weird and unpleasant monstrosity.

bb (14189) - Alamo, California, USA - MAY 27, 2021
UPDATED: MAY 27, 2021 Bottle. Green-brown beer with a green head. Floral and light malt aroma. Grapefruit and floral flavor with light tea. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Grapefruit and tea linger with floral notes and backing malt.

Fules (1891) - Gyöngyös, HUNGARY - SEP 10, 2020
UPDATED: SEP 10, 2020 Nagy, örökké tartós, zöld hab, sötétzöld szín. Füves, teás, enyhén fűszeres illat. Erőteljes, füves, zöld teás ízek, némi fűszeres jelleggel. Közepesen testes, közepesen szénsavas, erősen keserű. Kellemes, érdekes ízvilágú sör.

stokni (16) - - APR 5, 2020
UPDATED: APR 5, 2020 Gyönyörű zöld szín, ami talán viszi is a hátán az italt. Íze korrekt IPA, tea íz nekem annyira nem jött, és az IPA sörre jellemző citrusos, gyümölcsös illatot sem éreztem, ez nekem nagyon hiányzott. Egyébként finom jól komlózott korrekt ital.

hayayoshi (621) - Colorado, USA - FEB 21, 2020
UPDATED: FEB 21, 2020 Aroma is green tea and malty. Dark green pour with very green head. So interesting. Taste is sweet, rice, malty, matcha, light bitterness, more sweetness on the finish. Most interesting beer I've had in a while! I'm into it. I don't buy $5 bottles often but I'm glad I did this one.

3.9
Pyobon (2279) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - SEP 15, 2019
UPDATED: SEP 15, 2019 (Bottle) Wow, this pours clear deep green with a short-lived bright green head. Pleasant aroma with a mix of light toffee, hops and hints of green tea. Medium body with great carbonation. The taste is unusual and impressive. There’s plenty of hoppy bitterness from start to finish. There’s some pleasant balancing sweetness at the start, both a light malt and candy. There’s grassy vegetable notes in the start. The matcha comes through most distinctly in the finish where there is good hoppy bitterness and matcha. There’s a bit of alcohol bite towards the end too.
