Adnams are proudly billing this brew as ‘Carbon Neutral’ and have named it after the green outside their brand new brewery. We’re told that the facility at which this beer is produced uses advanced energy conservation techniques and along with the local hops and barley, plus a “tiny amount of carbon offsetting”, Adnams reckon that this one as as close to their aim of turning out a non planet-harming product as they can manage.

All those good intentions aside, what about the beer itself? It’s a very pale amber colour, and pours with a thin head that disappears quite quickly. The flavour has honey tones and it has a nicely rounded texture, but I’m afraid there’s there’s not much else to report. A faint hint of citrus, not much of an aroma.

All in all a pleasantly light, drinkable brew and whilst I wouldn’t turn my nose up if someone put a pint of the draft version in front of me, it’s not something I’d specifically seek out.
