In part two of the Gluten-Free (GF) beer tasting we look at two very ambitious beers from Greens. Greens Endeavor Dubbel Dark and Quest Tripel Blond. The Dubbel pours out a medium brown and has little nose, a bit of smoky caramel. It's very crisp and fresh with a tad of the smoky malt and weak caramels. It's one of those very light refreshing style dark beers. The body is really too light and the flavors are a bit weak. The Tripel pours out straw with a caramel citrus nose. The flavors are much stronger here with honey, citrus, caramel and maybe a bit floral. It tastes a bit mead like and also a little like a good sweet sparkling white wine. It also packs a lovely 8.5% ABV, which is right up my ally. This is really good and compares favorably with other Trippels I have had. The dubbel not so much. This Tripel would be a super treat for friends on a GF diet that like beer. I was impressed.
