500 ml clear bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5%. Clear copper colour, moderate white head. Aroma of toffee, malts and caramel, hints of dark dried fruits. Soft mouthfeel. The flavour is malty but not too sweet, notes of toffee again, a slight fruitiness.

It's the first time I've seen this gluen free variant. It has distint green 'Gluten free' labelling on the neck, and front and rear lables. Bought from Waitrose London.
L. Lovely mid to deep chestnut. Low CO2, any head quickly clears to lacing.
S Toasty malts and grains, fresh and light.
T Complex ale palette. Predominately fresh and lively flavours.
M. Very balanced, crisp and clean, fresh, well carbonated on the tongue
O. I don't recall if I've reviewed the regular, non gluten-free version, I know I've certainly drunk it. It would be interesting to do a side by side test of the two to see if a difference is noticable. Side-note, this might be one of the first explicitly labelled gluten-free mainstream beers I have ever seen for sale.
