330ml bottle. Amber colour, white foam head and hoppy aroma. Taste is grainy, sourgham, fruity, with some spicy earthy bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bodied, medium carbonation, dry tangy bitter finish. Quite OK.

330ml bottle into schooner glass. Faint sweet nose. Pale amber beer with minimal head, a few bubbles. Chalky mineral water mouthfeel. Slight citric finish. Not bad. Easy drinking but forgettable.

From bottle. Only waft of floral notes on nose. Pale gold in colour. Bland taste and very, very thin mouthfeel. Depressing beer that make me very glad to be gluten tolerant.

A bit of citrus, oddly sweet aroma. Hollow, hoppy flavor. Citrus with noticeable odd sweetness, much like the aroma. Medium bodied. Pretty solid GF brew, actually. Has that goofy GF flavor but much more drinkable than many others. Bonus points for that.

Bottled. A hazy dark golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma has notes of malt as well as lighter notes of hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt combined with lighter notes of hops and lemon. The body is light and the beer is boring.
