New Belgium Glutiny Pale Ale

New Belgium Glutiny Gluten free Pale ale bottle and glass

As a person whose grown to love pale ales, this beer doesn’t disappoint. Interestingly I never liked pale ales in my “pre-gluten-free days”. It’s only been in the past few years that I’ve begun to really appreciate the hoppy, and citrus flavors, with the bitter aftertaste that is unique to this type of beer. And now I can gladly say that I can tell a good pale ale from a bad one, and this one is very good, and it’s brewed by an excellent brewery.

I was told by the guy that sold me this beer that unlike other gluten-removed beer which test to under 20 ppm, this gluten-removed beer was tested to under 10ppm. As somone who is highly sensitive to gluten and keeps track of these things, I really appreciate New Belgium going the extra length to account for the safety of gluten free beer drinkers like myself!

 

Tasting notes:

This beer pours a deep caramel brown with a fluffy white 2 finger head.
The sweet, floral bouquet jumped to meet me before I even got my nose close to the glass. I also detected hints of apple, citrus and vanilla.
Medium body that is creamy and dry with a decent amount of carbonation.
This beer hints at strong hops with the smell, but delivers very little of that in the mouth, but does retain a tropical fruity (think guava) taste. It is clean and dry with a bitter, barley infused aftertaste

    Tried for the first time today, excellent taste. Been looking for a beer since diagnosed with celiac disease that tasted like beer. This beer hits the mark.

New Planet Blonde Ale

Light beer made from Sorghum without the bitterness of Sorghum. I happened to be drinking this beer on a cold, winter day, but I could imagine that it would be much more appealing if served on a summer day. Overall this beer was uneventful, and too light on flavor to make it worth it for me. […]

Ghostfish Vanishing Point Pale Ale

According to Ghostfish brewing, the term Vanishing Point refers to the vanishing of your pre-existing expectations for a gluten-free beer, and I wholeheartedly agree. This beer isn’t missing anything you would expect in a “normal” beer. Nor does it have any flavors that you don’t expect in a good beer! However, when I was drinking this […]

New Grist Gluten Free Ginger Style Ale

New Grist Brewery, one of the first gluten free brewers in the U.S. has created a new brew which is their pilsner-style Gluten Free beer and Added Ginger to it. This has both of the words ginger and ale in it, but this drink isn’t for kids. This is classified as a beer, but I’m […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Green’s India Pale Ale

Beers like this IPA are proof that you don’t need barley to craft a delicious and drinkable Pale Ale. Green’s has a reputation of brewing remarkable gluten-free beers and this, one of their newest offerings, is no exception. Enjoyable with a a earth and hoppy taste, with a bitter aftertaste, this is well worth trying. […]

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 […]
