Daura Damm

Daura Damm - Gluten free lager 


Daura Damm a Spanish lager you can find in most supermarkets around the UK, else where I am not too sure, it will certainly be available in Spain though, that's a given.

From 2008 onwards it won multiple awards, most recently the “Superior taste” award at the International Taste & Quality Institute in Brussels, I have to wonder then whether in the past and most recently whether Ive just been unlucky in my tasting of this lager. 

Opening the bottle i was suprised to be greeted by a floral yet familiar lager smell, only for a few seconds later to be left with little to entice the nostrils. Taste wise there is little to comment on, the flavor is like a weaker Budweiser, no offense to Budweiser Ive just always felt it was an easy beer to drink. This however is just flat, flat in flavor and almost completely flat after only a few minutes of pouring.

In my opinion its a bit of a disappointment considering its many accolades, the beer would be a bit more enticing to buy if it was a little cheaper, however like many gluten free beers its pricey for what it is. It would be a nice accompaniment to a football game and a Chinese takeaway in my opinion. Overall okay if you fancy just a lager, but its worth noting this isn't the only option for celiac's.

Alc: 5.4

Ingredients: Water,Barley Malt, Rice, Hops. 

My rating : 4/10

The Gluten Free Beer Blog

Hello there and welcome to my humble blog where I try and help fellow celiac's and people wishing for a little less gluten in there lives to find a damn nice beer to drink.


The general idea behind this blog is to share my opinion of what i think is either a good value or just a good tasting gluten free beer. While I am by no means an expert in the field of beer i have tasted many of the common and less common beers out there and i believe i can give a reasonable assumption of something that at least looks and tastes like beer. This may sound a bit preachy and readers may find them selves thinking, "well how bad could gluten free beer be". Well to put it simply, .......bad.


I must stress though that my short little reviews are just my opinion, everyone has different tastes and likes different types of beer. My main hope is to enlighten some people to the wide variety of choice that is out there for those either stuck with or interested in a gluten free diet.
