Omission Lager

Omission Lager bottle and glass with fall leaves

Omission Lager has become on of my staples. Because it has been picked up by so many grocery chains, it is one of the beers that friends and relatives will often have ready for me if I’m visiting their homes.

This gluten-removed beer has that barley-taste that many long-time gluten-free people (like me) miss, and the quality is better-than-expected for a mass-produced, readily available beer.

I do feel compelled to say that since this is a gluten-removed beer, and is brewed with barley, it may not be safe for people with celiac disease, or high-sensitivity to gluten.  Several people that I know, including some close to me, have gotten sick from the gluten content in this beer.

Tasting Notes:

Look – Golden caramel color, with a very thin white, lacy head.

Smell – after of years of drinking “normal beer” and then years, without, the smell of barley/malt is immediately foreign and recognizable to me. Pleasant grainy smell with and maltiness and  grassiness.

Body – smooth and creamy with a medium body and good carbonation

Taste – malty and bready with a taste of honey,  full, dry finish

Overall – Good flavor, well balanced and very drinkable, this lager reminds me of the Canadian Lagers I used to drink when I was younger.

Estrella Damm Daura

Because barley is used instead of sorghum, this gluten-removed lager taste much more like you would expect a beer to taste like. I was lucky enough to taste this beer early on, before the other gluten-removed hit the market. At that time I was enamored with the taste. It was the first beer that was brewed with barley that […]

NGB Gluten Free Lager

I’ve been hearing rumors that the local Trader Joe’s finally had a  gluten free beer in stock. Since there isn’t a Trader Joe’s in out town I asked my brother to pick me up Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Beer and he came back with this NGB gluten free Lager. I asked him why he didn’t bring me back […]

Green’s Enterprise Dry-Hopped Lager

Body is slightly caramel color with a light bubbly head. There is a small amount of visible bubbles in the glass. The smell is strongly floral from the hops. At the first sip I tasted was a dry and bitter, quickly replaced by the hoppy taste. The finish is very smooth with a slight bitter aftertaste. This clean finish is not at […]

Bard’s Gold

I first had Bard’s several years ago. At that time it was one on the few gluten free beer’s available, and I was happy to have it. In the past few years Bard’s hasn’t been as readily available in my local stores in North Carolina. I found this bottle, the first I’ve had in 5 years, […]
