Bottled. A dark amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is very sweet with notes of caramel, cola, and boring malt, leading to a dry metallic finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours amber with a slight haze and an off-white head. Horrible skunky aroma with lots of phenols (?) for some reason all gluten free beers come out like this. Medium body, oxidized Sherry notes and a slight roast. Taste is better than the aroma - luckily. 230112

33 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden brown with a small off-white head. Aroma is flat malty and caramelish. Dark malty and caramelish. Flat malty finish.

Bottled. Hazy ruby red colour, small white head. Aroma is mild red/dark berries with some slight cereals anbd grassyness. Flavour is quite exactly the same. Some fruity sweeetness in aftertaste.

Bottled, thanks oh6gdx! Copper colour, small head. Dusty fruity nose. Only mid-sweet, yet sticky. Rather slim with notes of metal and lingonberry. Some vinous caramel, no bitterness. Rather strange.

(500ml bottle, courtesy of Swalden 28) Pours a clear amber body with a small beige head. Aroma of apple, caramel, mustiness, cereal, grass, and wet leaves. Flavor of cardboard, apple, and caramel malt with a dry, metallic finish.

Bottled (BB 10/2008)
Dark hazy nut brown color, not much head - a bit like dark sahti. Similar berry nose than in many other "Greens"-beers (strawberry, red currant). Very similar to Endeavour, just slightly smoother and softer. Unbalanced berry flavors (strawberry and red currant again).

bottle at papsoe tasting, shared by papsoe. (glutenfree) clear brown, small white head. aroma is malty, herbal, slightly flowery. flavor is malty, sweet herbal, candy.

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!!!
