Omission IPA

Omission IPA

 

What a find this little beauty was. While walking round the busy streets of Dublin i stumbled across a bar called Against the Grain. A lovley bar that had at least 4 gluten free beers in their fridges. Not to mention a wide selection of world beer on keg and in fridge. So i picked this little number up. Omission is a USA based brewer thats dedicated to making gluten free beers for coeliacs :

So the actual taste of the beer, Very hoppy with fruity tones running through out,overall an enjoyable beer. As an example of American beers its not bad, that is to say I expect it to be very hoppy with a nice kick, while this beer has that its a too much initally and then not much after. The aroma was pleasant but something about the taste just didn't blow me away i found it a little harsh. While i read on the website they describe it as smooth im not sure that , id say that its a kind of hit face beer lots of hops and flavour but hard to break down everything.  Still this is a another good example of a sit and watch the day go by beer, If a little too hoppy and heavy handed for my personal taste. 

Alc:6.7

Ingredients: Couldnt Find them im afraid and the bar wouldn't let me take the bottle :(

My rating: 7/10

Greens Discovery

Discovery Premium Ale

Discovery is the first beer that Greens Brewery ever produced. It Is a beer i would refer to as a, watch the world go by beer. Its strong at 6% and carries hints of caramel and hoppy notes run throughout. lingering bitter/savory qualities remain after the first and last sip. This is a stand out example of a good well bodied ale that really does taste and feel the part. In comparison to some Gluten based beers such as Open Bloot from De Molen and Orval its lacking a little something. Maybe more hops or abv would just nock it up a notch, im not a brewer so i don't know what you would have to do, what i do know for sure though is this beer is class .

Alc: 6%

Ingredients: Water, Millet, Sorghum, Buckwheat, Hops and non GMO yeast
