Proudly echoing English brown ales, the Glutenberg Red is renowned for its great complexity, both in its manufacture and in its taste. Brewed from two types of chestnuts, each requiring its own specific roasting method, this smooth beer with a hint of toasted nuts reveals a unique coffee and caramel taste. She stands out in all the charts, with good reason!

Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA as "red ale". Pours clear amber with a slight, transient beige head. Aroma seems a little smoky. ? Near med body. Flavor is suggesting smoke to me. It’s moderately sweet. Not sure what to say. Smoky?

From a big can that says RED on it, not rousse frenchy. Candy light aroma with volatile hints. Looks like darker iced tea with a medium rocky alabaster head. A little ruff there on the uptake, hints of tartness lurking but not in yer face. Some coarseness and leather in there fer sure. Bandaid anybody?

Can at CiderWISE, pours a dark red with a small off-white head. Nose is like that of a conventional amber, with toasted malt and bready caramel. Flavour is along the same lines, with toasted malt, bready caramel and a decent hop punch to balance. Surprisingly good, with a good balance of hops and grains. Quite nice.

Can - Malty caramel with a touch of twig. Clear brown copper with a decent light brown head. Toffee and twig with a nice toast dry finish. Not bad.

35 cl bottle. Red to burgundy color, short offwhite head. Aroma of burnt wood and chestnut, hints of caramel. Taste slightly bitter. Light body, low carbonation. Some apple & plum in the finish, short dry finish. Weird.

Can: Poured a clear brown color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and small lacing. Aroma of light grainy malt base with dry caramel notes. Taste is also a mix of dry caramel malt with some grainy notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Standard red ale with limited hops and more grainy malt base than usual due to use of alternate grains.

4-pack of cans from my local Métro store. Pours a clean dark amber colour with a big frothy-creamy beige head, great retention and thick lacing. Some nice aromas of roasted malts (or whatever grain is burnt) with the sweetness of caramel. At times, some grassiness from the hops. The taste is a little different, like most gluten-free brews but had their typical apple flavours in the finish with a little dryness. Hints of nuts are fighting to show. Goes down nicely like most of their beers. Pretty decent for the style, for a g-free one.

341 ml bottle. Pours a brownish red with a small, short lived, tan head. Roasted malt aroma with caramel and nuts. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, caramel and nuts with a slightly dry, bitter finish. Medium body with a watery texture and fizzy carbonation. Pretty tasty for a gluten free beer.

Can sample at Atlantic Beer Festival Moncton. Clear deep amber color, white edge head. Aroma of light, watery caramel. Taste is sweet caramel and toffee. An inoffensive and easy drinking example of the style.
