Nose : Spicy and lightly alcoholic.
Palate : Overbearingly sweet and sugary, with a dry hoppy tartness at the back of the mouth failing to provide enough balance. Hints of lime-citrus.
Finish : Again sweet, but better balanced as hops and bitterness charge through to provide dryness.
Comments : The letters stand for Gluten Free Lager. This very pale brew has been created with coeliac disease sufferers in mind. It certainly fulfils a useful role, but it’s an acquired taste. Obviously the sugars used don’t ferment out as well as malted barley and wheat in normal beers, hence the sweetness.
