cascade green.

thought its about time to review a beer. i drink a fair bit of beer. the beer in the spotlight today is cascade green. i don't actually know how to review a beer, so i looked up some other reviews of the same brew to teach myself how. i found 2, and both didn't rate it very highly at all, so fuck learning from them.

i'll make it up.

cascade green is a new brew from cascade in tassie. they're jumping on the "green" bus to produce a product that appeals to people because its saving the planet, which seems a longshot, cos its a beer, not a shower head or light bulb. however, it is entirely carbon neutral. not that they don't produce carbon in the making of the beer, they just buy carbon credits or whatever to offset it, making the carbon disappear into thin air...even though thats where it is...whatever.

as far as taste goes, i don't really know how to describe it. all i can safely say is that its probably the best beer i've ever tasted. mitch said it tasted like grass, one of the reviews i read mentioned "grassy" somwhere, so we can probably agree on that. it tastes a little like grass.

its low carb, which is handy if, like me, you're watching your weight. it doesn't have any preservatives, which according to some are the source of a nasty hangover. the type of hops they put in it are called galaxy hops. thats a pretty sick name for a type of hops, so you know they must be good, and like all good beers, it comes in a green bottle.

its pretty expensive though, at $60ish a carton. $7.50 for a stubbie of it at rics in the valley. i got a carton for $40 at 1st choice, and if its still on special i strongly suggest you do to.
