Green's Dubbel Ale
Green's Gluten Free Beers

12oz can. Poured out a clear, golden amber color with a small, off-white head of foam. it left thin rings of lace. It smelled of grains, roasted malt and dried fruits. Odd mustiness with dried fruits and caramel.

Green's Dubbel Ale pours a dark brown, with a medium, long-lasting head. The aroma is sweet, fruity, and dry. The flavor is dry, with pit fruit and raisins, and a mild sugary sweetness. Good feel. Overall, a mellow, sweet, fruity dubbel.

Best Before 10/03/2030 & poured at 50 degrees.

Look: Deep dark brownish-red with a medium beige head that has solid retention and leaves fine lacing.
Smell: Some malt and fruit sweetness with a bit of yeast.
Taste: Excellent. A beautiful balance between sweet fruits and delicious yeast. Brown sugar and just a bit of alcohol are also present.
Feel: High in the mouth with medium carbonation. Nice smoother bubbles. Easily quaffable.
Overall: This is a substantial improvement over the only Green’s brew I’ve had. Their Discovery/Amber Ale is a putrid mess but this Dubbel is fine drinker. Definitely glad to have pulled the trigger and purchased it.

Edit: I don’t get why this brew gets such a low score? Perhaps it’s being consumed with too much age on it?

Transparent brown pour with a fizzy tan head that dissapates quickly. A bit of biscuit in nose, but slightly stale. Light, crisp mouthfeel. Malty start, nutty middle, but a very sour finish. Not bad, but not a true dubbel. But drinkable for a gluten free brew.

From the 12 oz can in a snifter. This unique gf brew pours a dark
brown with light tea highlights and a moderate head of khaki big
bubbled foam that settles to a thick ring, thick clumping layer, and displays
some decent lacing. Nose of dark dark cherry, dates, subtle anise
and molasses. Flavors follow the nose with molasses, cherry, light anise,
light herbal spice notes, and dates dashed with a cola note. Mouth feel is
medium, light carbonation, and a lightly watery finish.

Overall, for the gluten free folk it is on point, overall, decent.

Body is lacking and the sweetness is overly presented.


Cheers

 

Really impressive body and flavor, it's incredibly hard to achieve a full bodied dark beer with gluten-free ingredients. Most GF darks come out with thin coffee texture despite the dark color. This one had exceptional head retention as well, really made me feel like I was drinking a traditional dubbel. No other GF dark beer compares to this one, it's the only truly GF dark I look forward to when the weather turns cold.

not into gluten free beers - this one does not have as much flavor as others i've tryed

500mL bottle Best Before 09/11/26 poured into a teku glass at fridge temp 7% ABV. The beer pours opaque dark brown with light brown head. The head recedes to an irregular ring and rocky island leaving a full web of lacing behind. The aroma is mild with brown sugar, dried fruits and cherry. The taste is semisweet toasted malt with with layers of brown sugar and earthy notes. Minimal bitterness. The mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with average plus carbonation and a mostly dry finish. Overall, good beer. Not on par with the Trappist beers, but better than most American dubbel attempts I've sampled.

2007: 330 ml brown longneck bottle, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. Also available in Norway at Vinmonopolet. This was the second gluten free beer on the Norwegian market, Glutaner (a pale lager) was the first one. Green’s Endeavour is called a "Double Dark Beer". ABV is 6%. Website www. glutenfreebeers.co.uk . Green’s is a trademark of Charles Cooper Ltd. The beer has a dark reddish brown colour and a thick and creamy tan head. Distinct sweetish aroma and flavour that remind me more of cheap fortified wines than of beer. Notes of raisins and spices. Some hops in the aftertaste. No masterpiece, but drinkable even for people who are not "forced to" drink it by coeliac disease.

Very dark brown with three fingers of tan head. Rings of lace appear as the levels drop.
Smell is fruity sweet bready malts.
Taste is cherries prunes molasses bready malts.
Mouthfeel is medium with good carbonation. The finish is lightly dry and mildly bitter.
Overall a decent dubbel easy drinking.

Good stuff-- can fare well against most in this category.

 

Poured from a 500 mL bottle into a Dogfish Head tulip

L: Pretty dark, dark brown mahogany pour. Thick off-white head. Lasts awhile with nice lacing.

S: Dark fruit and Belgian sugar... a bit of yeast. Smells pretty much like a dubbel.

T.F: Sweet dark sugars up front. Caramel and toffee... some dark fruit and plum. Yeasty esters. Grains are a bit off as expected. More heft than I thought though... and for a gluten free beer this is actually pretty solid. Medium to light bodied.... more dark fruit and sugar at the finish.

O: Again... rating this as a gluten free offering it's pretty solid. It's obviously not going to be perfect, but closer to the style than I thought they'd get. Decent stuff.
