Light straw with notes of fruit and citrus in the aroma. The flavour has sweetness and notes of citrus and fruits, and it doesn’t have the very weird taste as bad as many other glutenfree beers. Even I can drink this one...

Århus2008. 50 cL bottle. Pours clear yellow with a lacing white head. Light honey and mild spiced aroma. Flavour is mild floral and fruity with a light honey note. Flavour is mild herbal and sweet into the finish. Nice and easy, uncomplicated.

Ungstrup (22906) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - OCT 2, 2007
Bottled. A light golden beer wih a thin white head. The aroma is sweet malty with a skuny fruity note. The flavor is very sweet almost artificially sweet with strong notes of fruit - so strong it is almost cloying, leading to a dry end without any bitterness. A weird beer - I’m glad I’m not allergic to gluten.

Grovlam (4106) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - JUL 11, 2007
Bottle. Again, having friends with allergy, make you open to this kind of beer. As they never can experience the more interesting styles of beer, you really appreciate that you are actually able to drink the good stuff. Small fizzy white head that mostly diminished. Clear flat body with a pale yellow color. Spar lacework. Aroma of light sweet hops, elderflower, floral, grassy notes. Light sweet malty notes, caramel, grain, cookie like. Hint of citrus. Medium bodied with an average carbonation and light dry texture. Flavor was balanced between light bitter and sweet notes with a hint of acidic. Light dry and bitter finish.

Skinnyviking (5472) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - JUN 2, 2007
Bottle. Small white and quickly disappearin head. Clear yellow body. Apple pear aroma with acidic notes. Sweet and sugary flavor with some spice I cannot figure out.

ThomasE (5176) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - JAN 30, 2007
Very pale golden colour with a white head. Malty, grainy and grassy aroma with a citric note. Grainy, grassy and light fruity flavor.

MiP (11256) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - JAN 28, 2007
Bottle. Weirdly sweet and sour flavour. Horrible, like the hop flavour you get in alcohol free beer.
