Green Bench Brewing Co Wilbur

What the brewers say

Brett notes. Medium tartness. Finishes with a jam/wood/caramel flavor.”

What our panel thought

“Soft caramel, light wood notes layered over a slight cherry-berry impression, just skirting medicinal. Punchy tartness delivered by high carbonation, tight sparkles, with a lemony stripe—bright and ethereal. Caramel adds an impression of depth.”

What our editors thought

“Dark-fruit notes with apple, pomegranate, and red currant atop a toasted and nutty malt. Medium-strong acetic acid in the flavor pushes the apple-skin fruitiness, with a light and lively body.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Green Bench Brewing Co Crab Pot

“Bright grassy, apple-skin nose. Medium white grape, soft pear aroma. Very dry, but still has noticeable apple character. Very tart. Some interesting depth. Dry, fairly acid-forward. Just enough tannin to give a touch elegance. Quite dry, riesling-adjacent.”

Green Bench Brewing Co Giants in the Sky

“Leathery, barnyard aroma initially. Rich in apple and barrel tannins, the layered fruit character has hints of apple pie, sherry, and caramel. A balanced finish with soft tartness, but largely a lingering barrel, vinous quality.”

Green Bench Brewing Co Alice (Blend #3)

“Unassuming nose, but light layers of mango, raspberry, peach, citrus with white-pepper spiciness. Moderate tart lactic acidity in the initial flavor fades to cotton-candy stone fruit.”
