Bottle re-fermented and naturally gluten free. The latest edition to our range of beers from ancient grains. The dubbel style originated in Belgium, possibly as a “second style” offered for sale by monastic breweries. Green’s Dubbel is the world’s first version of this style produced from ancient grains, all gluten-free ingredients.
In the classic dubbel fashion, a hint of dark-sugar and toffee flavour; and a traditional Belgian yeast bouquet.
Previously called Endeavour

Sampled from a 16.9 oz brown bottle this beer poured a chestnut color with a large dark brown head. The flavor was roasty malts and a strange mix of root beer and Dr. Pepper. The flavor was root beer and Dr. Pepper and a hint of coffee. Very odd.

330 ml bottle. Dark red/ brown body with a foamy beige head. Aroma is malt, yeast, dry fruit and brown sugar. Flavor is a bit sour malty with cellar notes, rather thin body but quite refreshing. Long spicy finish. A lot better than Glutaner.

Bottle 0,33l. Dark brown/amber coloured. Unclear. A tanned creamy head that lasted for a while. Strong aroma of fruit and berries. A vinous.impression. Flavor in the same way with a fruity bitter finish. OK but a bit unvaried.

Big brown head does not last. Dark red barely translucent body. Sweetish aroma with intense pine needle character and notes of apple and alcohol. Taste is sweet pine needles with notes of chocolate and earth. Carbonates in the mouth. Some alcohol is noticeable. Dry pine needle aftertaste. Quite good, but nothing too special. (0.33l bottle.)

330 ml brown longneck bottle, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. Also available in Norway at Vinmonopolet. This is 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.

330ml bottle celebrating that the Hammers still have a premiership status! This double dark beer pours a deep mahogany red-tinged body supported by a beige, frothy head with lots of bubbles (I’m forever blowing bubbles in the air!) and some lacing. Sweet rummy aroma. Rich taste of dark berries and fruits (plums and prunes) - almost vinous. A spicy touch towards the end. Perhaps a bit too sweet and one-dimensional. Medium bodied and easy to drink (13.05.2007).

Bottle. Clear, chestnut body with a nice, dense beige head leaving lacings. Quite a lot of dried fruits almost hides the aromas of candisugar and roastiness. The flavor on the other hand isn’t that good, not bad though, especially considering that it is gluten free, as there’s a bitterness that doesn’t match the dried fruits and sugars, and a vinous hint. There’s a slight note of alcohol as well, becoming more pronounced in the finish. Quite full-bodied and leaving a sticky feeling in the mouth. Some sparkling feeling as well. I think I have found a favourite for the day hopefully not coming, when I have been diagnosed with gluten intolerance. (070508)
