Olfactif: Cacao aux accents de cannelle et de petits fruits des champs tel les mures et les framboises. On y retrouve également de la mélasse et de la figue sur une base terreuse et feuillue rappelant le sous-bois en automne. On dénote cependant un léger manque de puissance et un affaissement rapide de l’olfactif. Visuel: Brune, à la petite mousse beige et fuyante. Gustatif: Une sensation de terre sèche avec de petits fruits discrets. La figue revient avec les mures. Mais je reste sur ma faim quand à la complexité des accents et à la puissance des saveurs. En bouche, c’est aqueux et fade. Ça manque de gout. Peut-être cette concoction a-t-elle été trop longtemps dans mon cellier. Peut-être aurais-je du la déguster plus jeune plus fraiche. Peut-être a-t-elle été élaborée pour accompagner des plats et non d’être évaluée seule et en fonction de critères de style préétablis. Reste que foncièrement, j’ai de la difficulté à appeler cette concoction une bière dans le vrai sens du terme.

Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours gold with a slight fizzy white head. Nice citrus aroma, mayhap including grapefruit. Med body or nearly. Flavor starts nicely citrus hop, and then sort of loses with no hop support. Or not nearly enough. Getting some sort of hot burn in the finish. Each quaff starts nicely, and then it doesn’t go well. Gluten free seems to work best when the gluten is removed from real beer. Widmer does some contract beers like that. http://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/omission-beer-company/16562/

Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours a dark gold with a white head. Aroma seems citrus and floral/fruit. Med body. Flavors suggest IPA, but the hop needs malt support. Basic problem there. Drinkable for all, the non-sensitive will likely prefer the malty ones.

Can at CiderWISE, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Nose is weird, with some strange grain notes. Flavour is bone dry, with grains, light hops, and a bone dry finish. Quite nicely balanced and constructed. Good stuff for a gluten free beer.

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 at CiderWISE, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Nose is almost nonexistent, with some earthy dank grains. Flavour is very dry and grainy, with toasted malt underneath. Simple, dry and balanced enough. Okay.

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.

Bottle - Pale malts and some tea leaves. Pale clear gold with a decent white head. Light pale malts, bitterness and so very dry. Hard to describe but decent.

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.
