New Belgium Glütiny Pale Ale is gold with a cream-colored foam, very light haze and lacing. The aroma boasts of heavy tropical fruit hop upfront - papaya, mango, pineapple, pine, black currant, grapefruit and lemon citrus. Herbal, grassy and green tea undertones with a slight earthy malt character.
The flavor is a light sweetness and even lighter tartness that slides into a mild and balanced bitterness. Medium-light body.
New Belgium Glütiny Pale Ale - from NewBelgium.com "When we decided to create a beer for beer lovers watching their gluten
intake, we started experimenting with gluten free grains like quinoa,
millet, sorghum and rice. While the resulting flavors were interesting,
beers made with these grains tasted just like the grain from which they
were produced -- not the same flavor we have come to expect from beer
made using barley malt.
Lucky for us there is another way to produce gluten-reduced beer made
with grains that contain gluten. This method involves the use of an
enzyme – a protein with a specific function – that breaks down gluten
into smaller fragments. We add this enzyme in the brewing process and
analyze the finished beer in the lab using the industry-supported R5
Competitive ELISA method. This creates a beer with all of the barley
malt-derived flavor without all the gluten."
