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.

Bottle. Having friends with gluten and wheat allergy, I was happy to find the GFA and GFL which enabled them to enjoy a beer with us. For them it was fantastic to be able to share and experience something different then the usual dull mass produced beer with nothing that resembles malt. Large light brown creamy head that mostly lasted. Good display of thick lacework. Clear sparkling body with a dark amber color. Aroma of sweet malt and fruit, brown sugar, nutty and caramel, some spice and yeast. Medium bodied with an average carbonation. Moderated sweet fruity flavor with a hint of bitterness. Fruity sweet finish. Nothing spectacular and very different to a regular Bitter, but still quit nice and drinkable I thought. Especially if you have allergy!

[Bottle from Peckhams] Oh. My. God. This is absolutly dreadful, certainly one of the worst beers I have ever tasted. VERY sweet, caramel, fruit concentrate. Eugh.

Dark amber, thin off-white head that fades quickly. Sourness immediately then hops. Grapefruit in the mouth, more sourness unoccupied by any other taste. Citrusy and ok if you don’t know better. Flimsy palate, kinda sweet and uninteresting with that mouthwash feel at the back of the throat. Shame, promised so much.

Bottle. Small but lasting off-white head. Clear copper body. Lovely berries aroma, strawberries I think. Hard to describe but good. Mild and sugary sweet, too sweet, limonade like flavor.

Bottled. Chestnut/cherry red coloured body, bright and very clean looking. Sugary malt aroma. Sweet with a very watery thin palate. Only a beer you would rate, respect to the brewers though for looking out for everyone.

Came as GFB. The head is moderate and slightly golden, leaving a nice lace. The color is brown with a red hue. the aroma is malty with notes of citrus and the flavour is sweet with notes of candy sugar and citrus that lasts throughout the finish. I don’t find any other notes really, and I’m not going to buy more of this beer.
