Green Lakes Organic Ale would be endorsed by James Cameron

Back late from a celebratory night at Copo d'Oro. Let's just say they have $5 Bourbon Old Fashions till 8pm (but that doesn't mean I didn't stop then). It was nice. I arrive back at the mancave where an organic ale was awaiting me. The concept driving organic beer isn't to make a 'green' beer or to help the ozone, etc. Rather, brewers who make organic resolutely believe that organically grown grain and hops (sans pesticides, etc) create a better tasting brew - at least that's my perception of this growing niche market.
I believe this is based on a futuristic Pandoran beer. Time travel sure is nice
The Green Lakes is a malty amber/red ale. The malt permeates the nose and my first taste. Subsequent swishes and gulps bring awareness to the beer's mild hops side. Not my style of beer but overall it's a very drinkable beer and smooth. I'll let you be the judge whether organic ingredients create a tastier brew. ARMAGEDDON rating
