Greenman's ale

Greenman's ale is an ale that can be player made through Brewing at level 29 Cooking, granting 281 experience per batch. When drunk it heals 10 life points, and provides a temporary boost to the players Herblore level of 1 for 60 seconds, at the cost of decreasing in attack, strength and defence. It can also be bought from the bartender in Yanille for 10 coins, at the Lighthouse after Horror from the Deep, and from Rasolo for 2 coins each up to 10 at a time.

Uses:
This item is a necessary item for the beginning quest of Recipe for Disaster. It is also featured in the Construction skill. At level 26 Construction and level 29 Cooking, players can construct a Greenman's ale barrel in the kitchen of the player's POH, using 8 glasses of Greenman's ale and 3 oak planks. A barrel of ale gives unlimited glasses of that ale; unfortunately, this ale cannot be taken outside the POH (it vanishes). Servants such as Rick and Maids can also serve this ale if the player selects Drinks under the Serve option.

This ale can be useful to players practicing Herblore. As it boosts the players Herblore level when drunk, it allows players to make potions and clean herbs that they would otherwise not be able to.

There is no additional colour change for The stuff being added.
