1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 1/20
It’s possible that this beer is brewed in Belgium, but taste-wise this might as well not be the case! It’s dark brown with a moderate head. The aroma is like harsh apple juice, and so is the flavour, where the sharp, bitter harshness is way too much - down the drain - gluten free or not!!!

UPDATED: OCT 24, 2007 First beer without gluten I’ve tried in my life with another Green’s. Really not for me
1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
Bottle. Hazy brown colour with a slim off-white head. Sour fruit and sugary, malty aroma. Herbal, malty, sugary and fruity flavours, but not very nice at all. It’s not the worst gluten free beer I’ve tried. Awful.
1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
Bottle. Hazy amber, brown with a small head. Aromas are green apples and spices. Also has herbal aspects with oranges and a great deal of stale homebrew character. Flavours are herbal, with spiced oranges and smooth chocolate. Lots of sweet, cheap cola character. More herbal remedy than a proper beer replacement. Sour and artificial on the finish. Infected homebrew. Reminds me of Purdy’s "herbal" drink. Still, at least it doesn’t contain celery. Beer 2500!
0.9 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 1/20
Very sweet chemical aroma offers suggestions of raw dough and soured apples. Clear deep golden copper coloured body is topped by a pillowy, off white head that recedes very slowly and coats the glass with lacing. Soured chemical apple flavour is completely unappealing. Medium body with moderate carboantion and somewhat slick texture. Pint glass. Cellar temperature. Bottle (Co-op in Ottery St. Mary, May-06).

Bottle, from Waitrose. Amber orange, thin but lasting off white head and moderate condition. Really foul sugar heavy homebrew aromas in the nose, slightly better in the mouth but still sugary with a touch of apples. Harsh bitterness and more sweetness in the finish. Some slight pine needle notes lingering. Nothing on the label convinces me that this isn’t substandard homebrew sold at a premium price.

Oh my, my second helping from greens. This too me should be the highlight of the range with it being a 6% beer brewed in belgium. Aroma is straight up apples juice with a terrible malty nuttiness, seriously clashing together. Taste is near unbearable, i hate and very rarely pour a beer down the drain but this was seriously seriously bad beer.
