Don’t let that “gluten-reduced” bit scare ya, this hop banger delivers all sorts of fun, from a floral and orange-peel aroma to a complex citrus and almost grasslike bitterness in flavor. So jump on board and rocket yourself into our hoppy universe, whether you’re watching your gluten intake or not.

Bottle from Beergium. Aroma is fruity hops with tropical fruits, grapefruit, citrus, light pale malt, bit oily hops. Flavour is light to moderate sweet with a long bitter finish. Body is medium. Nicely bitter and fruity hoppy, a very fine specimen of APA.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clearish orange with a full two fingers of rocky foam that lingers. Nice lacing down the glass. Overripe orange and light pine notes. Light flavor on the palate but some piney, pithy bitterness that lingers.

Smell - weak, hops, some citrus, some malt. Foam - medium thick to thin side, half soft, some sourness, some fruit feel, some acidic feel, weird a bit. Small head, can pour 0.33 into 0.5 like retard. White some some yellow tones. Appearance - hazy, dirty orange yellow, looks with some malts or something inside, some debris as well. Also some small spots on bottle. Taste - wormwood, some citrus, tastes more like herbal tincture than beer, this is first beer like that I have tried. its weird, like very weird. Dont like it.

0,33l bottle from Beergium. Hazy golden beer with good, stable and cloudy head. Aroma is mild with some pine and hops. Taste is watery with pine and some bitter citrus. Might be quite old, but this is disappointment.

Sample during the "Biennial Space Tasting!" on 08/20/2017. Hazy orange color with a medium thin off-white head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Citrus, hops and malt aroma. Light-bodied with flavors of grassy hops, citrus and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a short fruity hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

Aroma is good fairly balanced a little on the hop side. Flavor is like nose up front butt has a very long and bitter finish. Body isn’t bad but bitterness gets in the way.

Slightly hazy copper and bronze coloured body with a thin off-white head, about two centimetres tall that fades relatively fast. Aroma of funky, skunky malt with an odd resinous and very odd cardboardie malt bite along with some lighter hop elements. Light-bodied; Strong odd cardboardie bite with an odd skunky flavour that shows a lot of resinous and herbal characteristics along with a mild hop character and a smooth bitterness at the end. Aftertaste shows a little funk, but mostly a smooth and robust malt flavour along with some lighter hop notes, a bit of grass and resin and a touch of caster sugar sweetness on the finish. Overall, a decent beer, and having seen that this hasn’t got any glutens - a much better gluten-free beer than I’ve ever had before (and i’ve had some awful ones) plus one that you wouldn’t have really known was gluten-free before trying it. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Meijer in Allen Park, Michigan yesterday on 08-December-2016 for US$1,79 sampled at home in Dearborn, Michigan a day later on 09-December-2016.

House of 1000 Beers, New Kensington: Pours golden with a white head. Aroma is light pine and plenty of flowers. Tastes better than your standard beer lacking in gluten. Still, this is not all that very interesting. OK.

12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Ann Arbor Eisenhower3/31/16. Hazy pale golden, large foamy white head. Good retention. Aroma of pale malt and lemon juice. The taste is lemon, beans, pale malt. Medium bodied, bright. A freaking weird beer but its still pleasant!
