Gluten Free Beer in the Making
This week I was privileged to review of Gluten Free Homebrew from the future q-Brew brewery. q-Brew made this beer with a passion and excitement for gluten free beer that they want to build into a gluten free brewery with some funding support. If you have an interest in being an investor in a gluten free brewery, either comment on this review below or email the Association and we will get you in touch with q-Brew.
The beer I sampled is Orange Blossom Honey “Wheat” Ale but no worries, there is NO wheat in this beer. Now I get to review a lot of beers which of course I enjoy. In doing so, not all of the beers will be to my taste liking but I can almost always see a value in each beer. If the beer is just bad, I will tell you and thankfully, that is certainly NOT the case here. q-Brew tells me that they use a secret ingredient as the base of their beer so someday we will all know when the brewery opens.
I found the aroma of this beer to be sweet and slightly grainy. The color is a hazy unfiltered honey gold. It poured with a nice white head, some what persistent with slight lacing. This beer has a very light mouth feel with a light flavor, slightly hoppy with a bitter hop after taste. I found the beer to be very mild and refreshing, not a lot of flavor with a slight citrus and sweetness and a little tart.
This beer would pair excellently with a salad, mild fish or chicken or on the other hand a very spicy dish would pair nicely. Some what of a palate cleanser. If you like a strong beer, this is probably not the best choice for you. If on the other hand, you don’t like a strong flavored beer or this time you just want a lighter taste, you will definitely be able to enjoy this beer. I would definitely recommend this beer in the right situation and certainly on a hot day as a cooling refreshment. I would be glad to drink this beer again.
