Greens Endeavour

Courtesy of Degarth. Pours deep clear garnet with thin mocha head. The aroma is pungent with bold dark fruity esters, some chemical alcohol notes, licorice and musty dewy fruitiness. The taste is as bold and sweet as the aroma with dark sugar coated fruitiness then becoming somewhat like red wine and tannin dryness. I also get a sugar porridge type sensation that’s mild and muted. Body seems really thin considering the level of sweetness in this beer.

Pours a deep brown hue with a nice slight tan head. Aromas of cola, rum, and some weird rice funk. Mouth feel is very light bodied. Flavors of rice milk......mmmmm... very light bodied for the style, more flavors of noting much else. A light sweetness, a mellow finish with more flavors of coke. The bottle says 7%abv.

Bottle. Pours an amber brown with a huge large bubbled light tan head that leaves some lacing. Aroma of cola, alcohol, and dark fruit. Medium mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness and warm slightly hot alcohol. Decent.

Absolutely Vile. It looks OK, I guess, brownish red with a huge, foamy tan head. Smells and taste sour, but not a good sour, really kind of vinegary. Why are so many of these gluten-free beers seeminlgy formulated specifically to highlight their weaknesses? Complete drain pour.

This is easily the best gluten-free beer I’ve had. By no means was it a great dubbel but it was hardly undrinkable. The color was a nice dark purplish red but with a thin and quickly dissipating tan head. Aroma fairly faint sweetish malt. Flavor a bit odd but the first thing that popped in my head was perhaps a mix of RC Cola and red wine. Very thin on the palate and no aftertaste to speak of. Not a bad beer, though, and I’d drink it again.
