Brewdog Prototype Vagabond Pale Ale

Vagabond Pale Ale


Brewdog may not need any introduction with multiple bars and renowned beers. Brewdog have bars all over the UK and create headlines thanks to their controversial rise to fame and renowned Punk IPA that can be found in supermarkets and many other outlets. More importantly they are one of the newest gluten free beer makers to grace the market.

Its an impressive debut to be sure, enjoyable to drink with a hoppy floral initial taste. The two hops Amarillo  and Centennial really do give it nice hoppy flavor that really give this beer character. Overall Vagabond carry's a nice aroma and fantastic taste, the beer is a great example of tasty pale ale with a bitter kick on the after taste. 
This beer is also the first gluten free beer ive seen on keg! imagine that ordering a pint of gluten free beer! 
While i may be gushing slightly it has to be said the bottled beer for me tasted better then its keg counter part. £4.90 was the price of a pint in Brewdog London (Camden)  which seemed reasonable i just wish it had matched up the bottle i had a few weeks earlier.
 
Alc:4.5
Ingredients: Water, Barley, Hops, Yeast

My rating: 8/10

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.
