Greens Dark

Dark Ale 
Greens Dark the first dark beer to added to my blog and hopefully in time not the last. Out of all the beers Ive seen in the gluten free beer market dark beers are seemingly the rarest. Generally in pubs and bars Ive worked in people either want lager or bitter, and on occasion Guiness. I have to admit out of all the 8 different beer types i know of, porters, stouts and dark ales are probably my least favorite, that said I aim to review based on prior knowledge of gluten based beers and generally beers that i find do taste the part.

So to the actual tasting, i found it rather sweet initially and that transcended into a roasted heavy flavor similar to that of some stouts. The appearance is very dark like a porter or a stout. I wouldn't say its as strong in flavour as a stout but more in the middle, not too overwhelming but the flavor does linger.

Again its not my favorite type of beer and it didn't blow me away but it does give gluten free drinkers the dark option and does a good job at imitating some of its gluten based contemporaries.

Alc:5.8

Ingredients: Water, Hops, yeast and De-glutenised sweet mash. 

My rating: 7/10

The Gluten Free Beer Blog

Hello there and welcome to my humble blog where I try and help fellow celiac's and people wishing for a little less gluten in there lives to find a damn nice beer to drink.


The general idea behind this blog is to share my opinion of what i think is either a good value or just a good tasting gluten free beer. While I am by no means an expert in the field of beer i have tasted many of the common and less common beers out there and i believe i can give a reasonable assumption of something that at least looks and tastes like beer. This may sound a bit preachy and readers may find them selves thinking, "well how bad could gluten free beer be". Well to put it simply, .......bad.


I must stress though that my short little reviews are just my opinion, everyone has different tastes and likes different types of beer. My main hope is to enlighten some people to the wide variety of choice that is out there for those either stuck with or interested in a gluten free diet.
