Dec 5, 2008 Can. Light aromas of grain, herbs, dough and a faint hint of cinnamon. Head is small, creamy, white with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is sparkling clear amber. Flavor is lightly sweet and light to moderately acidic, then finishes lightly bitter. Palate is light to medium, watery and has a soft carbonation. An average tasting beer, I guess true to style for an American Pale Ale.

Mar 15, 2008 Didn’t notice this was Gluek or I would not have bought it. I got sucked in by the packaging and price. $5.50 a 4 pack.
"OK" and drinkable but would not buy again.

Mar 13, 2008 Dark gold body with a slightly off white head. The aroma is like unrisen bread dough a little bit of dandelions. The mouthfeel is lightly carbonated. the taste is slightly burnt sweet apple pancakes with some rotting grapefruit. The finish is a little bit citrus, but also earthy sweat. This is not too bad, but I would definitely not try again.

Jan 28, 2008 Found a four-pack box of these on the floor at the Polish market. Pours an amber/copper color. Not much of a head unless you give it a hard pour. Husky grain malt aroma with some fruitgum and a touch of caramel and soap. Cereal/grainy malt flavor with underlying fruity esters and some mild grassy and citrusy hops at the end. Has an overall metallic tone. Medium bodied, little carbonation. Could actually work well if drunk straight from the can at a tailgate or something. Otherwise nothing special.

Jan 27, 2008 Updated: Oct 17, 2008Can from BevMo online. Medium golden in color upon pouring. Malty aroma with a splash of hoppiness. A little bit of yeast and root beer as well. Somewhat bready malty flavors up front. Hop character seems a little sour. Tastes more like beer than most Glueks.

Jan 15, 2008 473ml can (thanks to Joe Sixpack). Slightly hazy, golden brown body under a frothy, white head that slowly fades away. Firm malty aroma. Pale malt flavoured water with a hoppy note. Finish off with a hints of sourish vegetables. Missing tail. Smooth mouthfeel. Not a great drink, but my best n/a so far (15.01.2008).

Nov 22, 2007 Corn malt and a little hops on the nose. Similar taste. By far the best Gluek product I’ve tried.

Nov 1, 2007 Updated: Feb 14, 2008Going out on a limb, I didn’t know what to expect with this and figured it would be pretty bad. However, it was actually moderately good. I don’t know baout the bubble blurbon the package, but this did have a very nice, thick, lasting white head that left good lacing, on an amber body. The aroma and taste were mild but definitely present and generally good, with a mild yeats, biscuit aroma. The taste is mild malt, biscuit, a hint of sweetness and a hint of biterrness, generally smooth, drinkable & refreshing if fairly bland.
