very light golden/amber color. Very small head, with decent carbonation and no lacing. Very dry sweet malt taste and aroma.
Very light golden pour with thin head! Crispy, fruity lager. Almost cider like. All you hop heads... Give it a pass!
The best gluten free beers I've cam across ..not to mention the it's Belgium and a triple ! Very light and bubbly with a dry malt taste. Would recommend this beer to anyone weather or not they are gluten free..plus it's a high abv at %11
Bottle. Pours a somewhat hazy dark golden color with a moderate frothy off-white head on there. Nose is a little sweet, with a lot of wheat, yeast, and slight citrus. Taste is quite sweet, and rather off-putting.
Clear golden with a fast dissipating white head. The nose is a tad bit wheaty and sorghum-y but otherwise it’s very difficult to tell this isn’t made with malt. Theres a wee touch of honey as well. Nice smooth and mellow tripel flavor as well with honey and pilsner (or similar--gluten free or something) malts with a touch of citrus and some sort of earthy grain. Rich and slightly boozy with a nice belgian tripel yeast/alcohol ester. Not bad for a GF...not bad in general. Without prior knowledge of its lack of gluten I would have never guessed it.
I had this at Global Brew. Pours gold with a white head. Taste sweet, fruity, Belgian yeast. I thought this was ok. I could drink this again.
Yeah so bottled. Golden pour. Weird rank smell of sour apples. Appreciate the effort but.
"Had the requisite fruitiness of a triple otherwise didn’t represent the style well. The yeast is too understated and everything else just muddled. Didn’t have the off putting sour aspects of the Dubbel, but an even more prickly feel. For the premium pice especially, just not worth it."
Aroma of souring wine and caramel dipped apples. Lighter yellow like a blonde ale. Flavor is mainly candied sweetness, much like a caramel of Sugar Daddy candies, and just a hint of salt. Light body, won’t say watery but flows easily against the pallet. Interesting mix of alternative grains.
Bottle. Had this many times now. By far my favorite GF beer. Pours a golden color, ample head the sticks around a while, and an aroma that is pretty much where it needs to be for the style. Taste is malty, spicy, only mildly bitter, with typical Belgian yeast notes to it. Has made GF beer life more tolerable. Decent.
Tallahassee, Fl. - Whole Foods Market - 500 ml bottle. Pours a sparkling medium golden with a sticky, bubbly white frothy head that leaves plenty of lacing. Aroma has some odd sour vinegary note, a bit of funky cake mix. Flavor has some sweet cake mix notes, a light hint of brown sugar, just a tad bit of sourness, some light nuttiness. Mouthfeel actually has a decent texture to it, One of the the better gluten-free beers I have had.
Presentation: It was poured from a brown 500ml bottle into a tulip glass.
Appearance: It has an orange/golden color with a hazy body and a tall head from the pour. This head slowly fades out leaving no covering or lacing.
Smell: The aroma has a light wine like character with apple skins and just a touch of citrus and yeast spice.
Taste/Palate: Up front there is a light grain and an odd apple skin like fruity sweetness with a touch of bready/spicy yeast. The finish has a dry and tart white wine like character that smacks the palate. The body has a light medium feel with balanced carbonation.
Notes: As a Belgian Tripel it’s an epic fail!!! As a gluten free beer it has more character than most. Still I don’t think I would recommend this beer to anyone.
This beer pours a clear golden color with a large white head, but the aroma smells a lot like a white wine but is actually a mixture of dough yeast, apples, and a slight amount of skunk. This brew’s likeness to a dry white wine continues in the taste and the palate; the flavors of this beer are quite sour and mildly sweet, and the mouthfeel fuses a medium body, astringent finish, thin texture, and an average carbonation.
Bottle. Bought this one for Pat that sommamabitch. Pours a cleanish amber with fluffy lasting beige head and lace. Notes of cider vinegar, 2 buck Chuck, genocide, chemicals, apple, lemon, band-aid, oppression. Light to medium body. This has to be poisonous. This will most likely be my last review. Tell my mom I love her.
A - Hazy orange/amber with 3 fingers of white sea foam that retain well.
S - Grapes, green apples, candy sugar, hints of bubblegum alcohol, spice, slightly acidic.
T - Tart fruit, green grapes and apples, clean white wine flavors, spicy soft grain on the back of the palate. Sweet middle with some yeast esters mixed in. Dry grassy hops clean up the sweetness on the finish.
M - Smooth and clean body with a fizzy dry finish.
Sweet and clean tartness with a dry fizzy finish. This exceeded my expectation being gluten free. I applaud the brewery for this as it doesn’t stack up to a BSPA or a Tripel but has the characteristics without the bready malt. I would drink this if I had an intolerance to gluten.

(Im not going to ’fault’ this beer for being gluten free or judge it as a gluten beer.) Dark golden. Small white head. A little drippy lace. Aroma is fruity, sour, a little funk. Flavor is white wine, mild sour fruit, green apple, funky . Medium body. Slightly drying. More than a decent gluten free choice.
Pours a clear pale yellow with minimal white head. Aroma has honey and raisins. Flavor follows suit...bit of a champagney note...mildly sweet. Mouthfeel is light and lively and the finish is winey/fruity...white wine...and dry.
Bottle. Pours cloudy gold and smells of fruity Belgian yeast. It tastes sweet with a slightly dry finish. The carbonation is fairly lively and the body light to medium. It’s got the sugary character I’ve found in other gluten frees though not as bad. The alcohol is noticeable in the flavor though. This was one of the beers I had given Dan for christmas.
Maybe just a bit sweet for my tastes. Very glad the’re more and more gluten free beers out and I would recommend this higher than the sorgum ones. I taste a kind of a banana, bubblegum, medium flavor with a mid bitter aftertaste.
My rating is probably artificially high since it’s been so long since I’ve had gluteny delicious beers.
Bottle thanks to a gluten intolerant friend. Pours light amber with a huge super-fizzy off-white head that dissipates almost instantly leaving a network of huge foamy bubbles in the glass and oddly clumpy lacing. Aroma is yeast, fruit, lemon, windex. Flavor is quite sweet, spicy and oddly astringent, yeasty. Lemony rye-spice aftertaste. Medium body.
Not a great attempt. Spivey with hints of pear. Tastes like rice and saki. Passable I guess but not super. Needs gluten.
Hmm, I understand that this is a gluten free beer but it’s more like a cider with a hint of a Belgium somewhere in there. The pour is a thin and clear rustic color with no head or lacing. The aroma is very cider like - quite sweet. The taste is sweet up front and finishes with it’s alcohol potency. Possibly a hint of a triple in there but not really. It serves its purpose I guess?
Pours a dirty golden with an unimpressive white head. Aroma is pale malt and bubble gum. Flavor is busy, and I must say, not well balanced. Sweet pale malt and fruitiness, followed by a sourness which ends at the swallow with the taste/feeling you just chewed an aspirin. Some alcohol evident at the end. This is only marginally better than most strong malt liquors.
Bottle. Pours a light golden with a large white head. Sweet syrupy nose with fruity notes. Sweet fruity flavor with some spice notes and a hint of floral hops. Sweet and fruity finish with some metallic notes. Decent for being gluten free, but otherwise not so good.
500 ml Bottle for review from Louis Glunz. Well, no one will be fooled into thinking this is a Tripel, it’s a gluten-free beer, after all, but points for making a GF beer in a style that might accept some candy tastes. So this one actually pours a little darker than a true Tripel. Another fizzly head, but this is just a trifle closer to the style. Smell is pretty light, with a hint of sweetness over everything else. Taste is missing the cidery sourness of other GF beers until the glass gets much warmer. Instead, the sweetness of a Tripel stands in. My nose finds no off notes as it goes further into the glass. I do get a bit of sour as I fill my glass a second time, and it cannot be imagined to be the same as any Belgian beer funk. This is probably the highest-abv GF beer I’ve noticed, and the alcohol becomes apparent only later in the bottle. At least there’s one GF beer out there that would get me buzzed if it were my only option. My 100th Belgian beer rating!
Poured a deep golden almost light amber with a lasting pillow-y white head.. Fairly clear with little haze. The initial aroma reminds me of McIntosh apples, a bit sweet; fruity. Some pear and light peppery yeast spice follows. Light hints of apricots and banana esters, but becomes apply cidery when it starts to warm. The flavor is much the same with light sweetness up front. Apple flavor carries over from the aroma but the finish is sort of flat with a touch of spicy yeast. Some bitterness and solventy tastes come into the aftertaste. It’s highly carbonated, but thin due to lack of malt; the alcohol seems well hidden in the mouthfeel, but it is in the flavor. Overall, I’ve had much worse examples of Belgian beers that do contain glutens. This beer has some decent character, save the lack of malt complexity or pils malt character, but it was flavorful enough to grab my attention.
0,33l Bottle. Gluten free. It poured a 90% thick head that took more than 5 minutes to disolve. The taste is a bit milky and you def. feel its a gluten free beer. The foam stick to the edges of the glass. Not my favourite.
I tend to agree with taphandle - as a regular ’ol beer goes, this is pretty poor, but as far as Gluten-free beers go, this is pretty good. At least it vaguely reminds you of a Tripel.
I know it’s rated relatively low here, but for a gluten free beer, this one isn’t bad. It at least reminds you of the style and is quite drinkable.
This is a good beer, not just for gluten free, but in terms of all belgian style beers. Not quite an authentic Blonde, it is cloudy with distinct soft belgian hops indicative of Green’s style beers.
