(bottled) Shit this is boring and soulless , not even golden , its amber . sweet carboard malt notes ..peachy like hop notes too. husky or something.

Bottle at home in London with Lyoli. Pours clear, rich gold with a moderate, foamy white head. Cereal nose with light floral hops. Light to medium sweet flavor, plenty of dry biscuits, light cereal, mild grassy-floral bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Lightly crisp to finish, lightly sweet with crunchy cereal and biscuits, faint leaves and grass. A very easy drinking beer. Dries out just enough on the finish to keep it from being overly sweet. Nice beer.

The first beer in one of my random beer tasting evenings with the wife. Brown 33cl bottle of gluten free Belgian Ale, best before 7 Dec 2011, drank Aug 2010. Poured into my ’La Chouffe’ stemmed tulip glass. Good clear amber coloured body with an off-white head that soon settled down to a mini wisp and collar. Some lacing did occur though, as the beer level dropped. Malted biscuit aroma and taste, but not really sweet as my comments might indicate, no gluten you see! I thought the beer a bit thin in the body stakes but pleasant enough.

Bottle in Genoa, purchased from Enoteca Squillari. Clear gold beer. Little white head. Light dry palate. Lots of pale malt. Dry. A trace of citrus. Dry finish. Dull and dry.

A clear, dark golden colour with plenty of fizz & a nice finger sized, foamy white head with great retention. Has a malt like aroma with a little hint of sweet caramel in there too. Sweet tasting to begin with featuring a mix of pears & apples. It’s finished with a bitter aftertaste than also had a little bit of a kick to it. It was smooth, light bodied beer with a little bit to much fizz. It was also far to dry from my liking. It looked pretty good but lacked in taste & was a disappointment on the palate. - - -

Amber colour (not golden) with a thin head, malt aroma, tastes like a English bitter, not bad. A gluten and wheat free beer.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Amber colour, off-white head. Aroma is light malted, caramel and bit of hops. Flavour is caramel, bit hoppy and grassy. Medium carbonation. Quite harsh. Dry finish.

Bottle. Amber with a bubbly head. Aromas are grain with hints of caramel and weetabix. Flavours are dry tea with biscuit malts and a peppery finish. Grassy hops with a dry finish. OK.

UPDATED: JUN 16, 2010 Bottle from Morrisons. Nice-looking, steadily fizzing orange amber with a dense bloom of head. Looks the part, sniffs odd; beeswax, wood, unwashed denim, soapy curry house lager, 49c tinned Grecian supermarket pils. Kingfisher-esque emptiness; aloe vera and vegetables; egg custard doughiness for dessert like our very own Badger. Out there. But quite palatable I would imagine in the absence of alternatives- I’ve certainly had plenty of inferior, gluten-containing beers.

Bottle 330ml.
