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.

Thank God I don’t have Coeliac disease. Bottle from Asda. Brownish with off white dissipating head. Aroma of brown sugar, saccharine, sherbert. Mouthfeel scarily awful - feels like overthick coca-cola. Tastes like that blue translucent toothpaste. I love Hambleton’s beers and Nick Stafford is a sound bloke, but this isn’t beer. Good marketing move and a service to Coeliacs, but don’t expect beer if you don’t use malt.

An amber beer with a nice light brown head. The aroma is very yeasty and spicy - should almost think it was Belgian. The flavor is very sweet - almost like candy, but with a nice acidity to it - something like a grapefruit caramel - if that exist. It also has a toffeeness to it, the mouthfeel is smooth, but it dies quickly on the palate.

Bottle. Deep amber/bronze with a small white head. Aromas are very sweet and sugary with some berries...and more sugar. Flavours are reminiscent of kit homebrew gone wrong. Has a disgusting fake sweetness. Barely drinkable.

Bottle. Fruity aroma with a little goat to it. Very sweet flavour and aftertaste. Reminds me a bit of artificial sweetener.

Reddish brown with a slim off white head. Big sweet and fruity aroma. Sweet tasting, some hops, sugary. I don’t think I like it, but could probably (would have to!) get used to it if I was gluten intolerant.

Bottle from Ølbutikken. Red brown colour with a big off-white head. Sweet spicy light fruity aroma and a sweet light hoppy taste. Medium body and a sweet finish. To sweet.

A gluten and wheat free beer - very interesting. Pours a clear redbrown body with a thin off-white head. Aroma is sweet of brown sugar, toffee and spices with a touch of chocolate cake. Quite full and pretty nice. Flavor is also sweet with hints of hops and cookies and some fruity and sugary notes also. Very different from a "normal" beer but interesting and actually all right.
