Commercial Description:
Bottle Conditioned, 500ml;
A tawny beer with aromas of Cascade, Liberty and Challenger hops and specially prepared dark sugars provide full bodied initial sweetness giving way to pronounced fruit and hop character with a strong citrus finish. Thanks to its formulation and a unique filtration method Hambleton Ales' GFB delivers the full flavour and satisfaction expected from a British beer in a gluten and wheat-free formulation.

Strange one. Headless red/palate of squash. Aromas of a) an overly sugary, caramel-drenched commercial Flemish sour, b) a beer you opened and drunkenly forgot about, came downstairs and sniffed the following morning before deciding against having a sip (vinegar), and c) feet that haven’t been washed for 6 months (I’d imagine). Flavour strange but better- nothing more unpleasant than your typical caramelly pasteurised supermarket bitter. Actually some half-decent yeasty fruit and sweet Custard Cream maltiness in there. A decent effort, considering.

Bottle 50cl.
Clear medium amber color with a small, virtually none appearance, virtually none lancing, fully diminishing, head. Aroma is moderate fruity sweet, heather honey, light to moderate vinous. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is medium to light, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. (170508)

Clear golden with tiny white head. Vague aroma with mild hoppy notes. Sweet fruity flavor with caramel, peach and apples. Almost no bitterness in the finish.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with an off-white head. Mild citrusy hoppy aroma. Flavour is mild sweet citrus fruity. Very delicate hops flavour with a vague maltbase (obviously) but it seems in balance somehow. Mild sweet finish with a growing dry- and bitterness.

Bottle.33cl. Aroma like New carstel brown ale, sweet like hell and out off this world full of diacetyl.

Bottled. Amber colour, small white head. Aroma is sour berries, paper, oranges and hops. Flavour is overly riped fruits, flowery hops, paper and some spices.

Coppery amber. Sweet malt aroma. This was a brave attempt to produce a gluten free beer. Unfortunately the taste resembles nothing more than a shandy made with diet lemonade and a can of ’value’ beer’.
