500ml bottle from Booths. Pours clear pale gold, little to no head. Aromas are dusty malt, cereal, light lemon citrus. Taste is light sweet, very light bitter. If there had been a vegetal note I’d have called it a lager, as it is, pretty sub-standard low-hopped blonde ale.

50cl bottle from Longacres, Windlesham. "indistinguishable from normal bitter"? No. It looks like an eastern European lager when poured, a pale straw colour with a billowing white head; and a grainy aroma with some citrus and grassy hop; the taste is more bitter-like though; with a soft sweet malty body with some citrus; and a fresh green hopped bitterness to finish.

500ml bottle. Yellow gold colour, foam white head leaving some lacing and aroma of grain & lemony citrus hop. Similar flavour with biscuit, hay notes and light spicy bitterness. Light bodied, medium carbonation, metallic bitter finish. Quite OK.

500ml Bottle conditioned: BBD 1 Nov 2013. Poured slowly into a UK pint sleeve on 1 Jul 2013 at home with the new puppy. No sediment appeared to leave the bottle: bright and light golden colour, very pale actually. On top a full and fairly deep foam white covering. Plenty of carbonisation bubbles rising through the clear body. The nose is mild malts and a un-malt-like sweetness from something, fruity esters too. Oddly enough it also had a grainy aroma despite it’s name. Strange taste: candid fruit peel sort of taste but not as sweet, watery body feel and a metallic twang to the aftertaste. Can’t say I really enjoyed it.

Bottle shared with ClubGonzo. The beer has a very light straw colour and very little foam and is pretty carbonated. The aroma is dominated by sour fruit peel, dextrose, slightly cooked vegetables and straw. The taste is slightly sweet with more touch of pale malt, hops and slightly tart and dry finish. Have a light and watery mouthfeel and a light to medium bitterness. A bit strange and weak beer, and seems a bit unbalanced.

Lett frisk lukt med preg av lys malt, humle, korn, mais, høy, mandelessens, ugras. Lett tørr smak med preg av lys malt, humle, oppvaskvatn, høy, våt papp, mais, litt korn. Middels bitterhet som set litt. Dårlig.

500ml bottle. Clear pale golden colour with small, frothy, fading, minimally lacing, white head. Fruity aroma has notes of tangerine and gooseberry. Taste is initially moderately sweet fruity with notes of yellow berries, a floral touch, later slightly grainy and husky; light body.

Dobre i świeże piwo bezglutenowe. Żółty jaskrawy kolor ale mała piana niestety. Aromaty świeżo skoszonych zbóż i wiosennej łąki są wyraźne. Smak gożki, chmielowy. Finisz dośc wytrawny. Smaczne i zdrowe piwo. Polecam bezglutenowcą.

Cask at the Cleveland Arms, London. Pours perfectly clear yellow with a small, white foam head. Tangy lemon nose, some white bread and straw. Medium sweet flavor, lots of tangy citrus, mild grassy bitterness, some white sugar, faint floral notes. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with a surprisingly sturdy grassy hop bitterness, some lemon and pineapple, more white sugar. Pleasant. Quite good for a gluten-free beer.
