But for me the colour of the beer is part of the all round experience, and green is my least favourite colour. I suppose if it gets people talking about it it is a good marketing ploy.

It was alright, nothing remarkable but certainly drinkable, and, for what I know, quite successful if the pub at my village is anything to go by (they sold it out very quickly, and we are speaking about very beer conservative patrons). So much so, that this year they came out with it again, this time greener. I tasted it the other day (quite far from Easter) and it was the same beer, though with a rather suspicious sugary flavour. Don't know what colouring they use for it, though. Starobrno, one of Heineken’s local minions, came out with a greenish beer for last year’s Easter.
