Bottle bought @ local Mitra. Blonde. Grainy aroma with some grassy and nutty notes. Full bodied. Grainy nutty flavor with vegetable notes. Walnut bitterness in the aftertaste. Drinkable in an emergency situation.

Bottled. A golden beer with an orangey head. The aroma has notes of straw as well as light notes of cardboard. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and straw as well as lighter notes of cardboard. Drinkable, but not exciting.

Sampled at the first annual Medicine Hat Beer Festival. The volunteer (distributor?) said that this brew came about by accident when the brewing chemist (?) noticed that they had accidentally "split the gluten molecule" in a brewing mishap. Yeah, I hate it when that happens. Anyhoo... this looks like the regular Estrella. Aroma of grainy malts and some grassy hops. Notably, there is no apple-juice aroma that I’ve come to expect from all gluten-free beers. Flavour is much the same: clean grains, low grassy hops. For a gluten-free beer, this is about the beeriest I’ve had. If I’m ever stricken with celiac disease, this is the beer I’d buy (along with Scott’s Pale Ale from NZ).

Bottle. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma is fruit, malt, grain. Flavour is dry, fruit, malt, grain, hint of hop. Thin beer.

Bottle. Clear golden colour with a small white head. Aroma and flavour is malty and fruity with a bitter finish.

Bottle. It pours the expected clear, golden body and small, white head. The aroma starts off with a fruity, grainy touch, but is soon nothing more than a weak scent of hay, grass, grains and a little fruity hint. The flavor is more on the fruity side, with an appropriate level of pale malts. Fruity flavors makes this one quite tastefull. Low on bitterness though. Dry, medium body and super-effervescent. Actually so fizzy it washes away a lot of the flavor. Some bitterness in the finish, and also a faint metallic hint. Well, considering it’s said to be suitable for people with coeliac disease, I’m pretty pleased. Else it’s just a bit more interesting than the average pale lager. 090827
