Description:

 

The Pour:

This beer when poured from the bottle is a dark-ruby brown, almost look like a glass of coca cola, the head froths up like poured cola to compound this view, the head then dissipates fairly quickly leaving no trace. As standard I poured the first half of the beer with the glass at 45^o, and then poured the rest in at 90^o to try and generate a decent head without overflowing the glass.

 The Nose: 

There is a strong bready smell from the yeast, with a hint of dark chocolate; there is a touch of what seems to be a lactic note of dark fruits figs and black currents come to mind.

 The Taste:

There is a fruity and dark chocolate taste right from the start; these are the same as noted in the nose.  This beer feels very light and thin for a ale, with no discernable over taste from the contained 6% alcohol strength. There is a slight sour taste towards the back of the tongue.

Overall it is plan that this beer is not produced through a traditional method, the purpose of this is to keep the gluten content down.

  

Accompanying Food:

Greens Endeavour works well with pork and some types of chicken dishes in my opinion, although this beer is mainly aimed at the vegan and vegetarian drinker these types of meals may not be applicable.

Recommended:

No.  Personally I did not like this beer, so would hesitate to recommend it to anyone. This beer is not going to be suitable for anyone who is a drinker of traditional beers, as the taste is so different from these.
