Bargain beer

[andrew_s]

The local has been selling beer at £1.50 a pint yesterday and tonight

Ordered as green beer, as in organic/environmentally friendly, but turned out to be green beer as in green.
A perfectly pleasant 4.6% ale. You wouldn't have noticed anything odd about it at all if it had been dark.

I've had that before, not for a few years though. It is slightly off-putting to look at, not being beer coloured, but does taste rather pleasant.

I encountered it in late March while out riding with youngest daughter. It was a very nice & well balanced ale. Oddly we concluded independently that 1) it somehow tastes 'green', and 2) that it would be an excellent drink to accompany fish dishes.

Sadly it cost noticeably more than £1.50 per pint.

How do they make it green?

If it's just food colouring, that would put me off. It's irritating. I don't need a gimmick to make me want to drink good beer.

But if they've done something interesting in the brewing process to make it that colour, I might try it for curiosity's sake.

Mind you, at £1.50 a pint, they could make it rainbow striped with polka dots and I'd probably be tempted to try it.
