Greens Amber

Greens- Amber

  
Greens Amber, a nice bitter ale, dark in color and not overwhelming in flavor. Like all Greens beers its nice to see it keep a nice head through out drinking. In comparison to the other best bitter ale Ive reviewed so far id have to say there's something lacking in Greens Amber compared to that of Night Mission which comes across more well rounded.  

Still this and Night Mission are good examples of bitter ales and should really be what other gluten free beer brewers hoping to make a good bitter, strive to taste and look like. 

Alc:5%

Ingredients: Water, Hops, Yeast, and De-glutenised sweet mash. 

My rating: 7/10

Night Mission

Glebe Farm- Night Mission


Glebe Farms Night Mission is the first ale to be reviewed in this blog and hard to beat in terms of a traditional bitter. 

The name 'Night Mission'  came about due the farms' historical links to the wartime planes used in WW2. There are many airfields in the area of Glebe farm where the pathfinder planes would take off, land and sometimes crash.

This is a beer that looks very much the part and indeed tastes the part, if you've been looking for a tradition English bitter or an amber ale that gives you that bitter taste this is a great choice. The beer kept its head through out the drinking process and with a great bitter taste that lingers, its a great gluten free beer that would make any grumpy black sheep pub goer pause for thought.

Alc:4.2

Ingredients: Secret .....

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.
