Greene Turtle
Hi! I have been on vacation sampling some great beers in Delaware such as Dogfish Head- several varieties- fresh from the tap in their brewpub in Rehoboth.
Tonight I was at the Greene Turtle in Westminster for a pleasant experience on the patio. It was a professional event, but the food that was served was awesome- ribs, crab dip, sliders, etc. I am not a fan of chains or chain food, but these items were good.
On the beer side, I had Batch 19 for the first time on tap. It was good. Cold, relatively light. Hoppy, but not like an IPA. Crisp. It had a unique flavor. Golden to amber with a slight head. Nice aroma- malty and floral. In fact, I, though not others, thought this beer was more malty than hoppy.
At any rate, a decent beer and the venue was great.
For a finisher I tried Just IPA. It was lighter than most IPA's I have sampled recently, but had a nice floral, hoppy aroma and hit the palate nicely for a summer night. Nice change from the double IPA's etc. that are everywhere now.
Overall, a good experience at the Greene Turtle. The manager informed me that they will be shaking up their taps in the near future to include more local brews, etc. I am looking forward to that!
