Beer of the Week: Green Man Organic Lager

500ml recycled "Euro" bottle.
Pours a very pale gold, almost green-hued. Lacey, pure-white, head is very tight and holds well. Only the tiniest amount of carbonation is visible. Subtle malt sweetness, on the nose, underlies the noble hop aroma of fresh lemon zest and dank forest floor. Again, the malt flavour is subtle, with maybe a touch of wheat in there. Lemon, woody, hop flavour with just a touch of citrus oil. Soft mouthfeel. Very smooth. Fresh, organic and tasty. A great effort from Steve Nally and Tom Jones.

Available from Real Earth Cafe in Wellington. Unfortunately it is quite dificult to get outside of Dunedin but email Tom "the pom", via the website www.greenmanbrewery.co.nz, and he may be able to point you in the right direction.
