Foret Libre Saison Ale

 

Forêt Libre Siason Ale poured in a in glassThis gluten-removed Belgium Ale is an excellent, very drinkable beer, in fact it just became one of my favorite gluten-removed ales. This beer was hard to find, but well worth seeking out.

Siason Ale, also known as Farmhouse Ale, is an old Belgium style that is typically brewed in the winter to serve in the summertime. There was a time when farm workers would be given this ale while they work to keep them cool and refreshed.
This beer is refreshing and delicious enough to make me willing to work out in a field just to earn a bottl

 

Tasting Notes:

Look: This beer poured with a big, fluffy off-white head with an opaque, pale golden body.

Smell: The aroma was floral and yeasty.

Forêt Libre Siason Ale tall bottleBody:  rich and carbonated.

Taste: taste very much like an ale, the kind of ale I remember drinking years ago. It has a clean, slight lemon hint with a smooth creamy finish.
Made with the same yeast and recipe as the famous Saison Dupont, named the “Best Beer in the World.

Served in a large 1 pt 9.4 oz bottle ( 750 ML)

6.5% Alcohol by volume

Brewed by Brasserie Dupont, Tourpes, Belgium

Ground Breaker Squash Ale

You may be getting a serving of vegetables with this squash ale, but even if you don’t love vegetables, I still think you’re going to like it. Made with organic roasted squash, roasted, chestnuts and roasted lentils, all of that rich roasted goodness comes through clearly in this dark ale. The well-balanced flavors aren’t more on the delicate side, […]

Celia Saison

This Belgian-inspired Saison/farmhouse-style beer used to be brewed by the Alchemist. The brand was bought, and is now brewed by the Ipswitch Brewery. I never had the opportunity to taste Celia Saison while it was being brewed by the Alchemist, but I do know that it was relatively early in the gluten-free beer market, so that quality wasn’t so […]

Glutenberg India Pale Ale

Not everyone likes India Pale Ales (IPA’s), and that’s because they can be very overwhelmingly dominated by the strong, flowery, yet bitter taste of hops. However, for those of us who like IPA’s, we really like them! If you are a fan of IPA’s, then I think you’ll like this one. The Story Behind India Pale […]

Dogfish Head Tweason’ale

How cool is it that one of the U.S. top breweries makes this one-of-a-kind true gluten-free sorghum-based beer?  Dogfish Head brews this special brew between seasons, thus the name Tweason’ale. Because of this is isn’t always available. Before the days of gluten-removed beers that flaunt the taste of barley, us celiacs were limited to beers, like this […]

Glutenberg Red Ale

If there is one type of beer that I really miss from my “normal” beer drinking days, it’s dark beers. I’ve yet to taste a gluten-free stout or porter. There are a few dark beers out there, but there isn’t a good selection and many are hard to come by. After tasting Gutenberg’s red ale I’m […]

Brunehaut Organic Belgian Blond Ale

I’ve been meaning to try this organic Belgium artisanal ale for several years, but it isn’t readily available in the area of North Carolina where I live. When I ran across it recently I bought a bottle right away. After trying it for the first time I wish I would have brought a six pack. Brunehaut […]

Ground Breaker Dark Ale

The bold, dark flavor of this beer took me back a moment. Is this a new flavor? No, I’ve tasted and enjoyed beer this dark before, but it’s been so long (12 years) I had forgotten the taste! I’ve had a handful of dark gluten-free beers, but none that had hit those right notes that […]

New Belguim Glutiny Golden Ale

As a young guy growing up 20 minutes from the Canadian border I drank lots of Canadian Beers. The most readily available and in expensive was Molson Golden. This beer brings me back to my Molsen Golden days. Back then it was more about quantity than it was about quality, and Molson Golden fit the bill. This […]
