Reviewed live as a gluten-free pale lager per Sinebrychoff's website. Expectations are low given the brewery. Served cold into a mason jar at low altitude in Kuopio, Finland. Cost was 2.92 euro at a Sale supermarket.
CAN: Blue label. Depicts an Eagle. I think this was at one point known as Eagle Beer back in the 1980s. 50cl. Aluminum. Standard pull-tab. Best before: 12.01.2016.
No bubble show forms as it's poured.
HEAD: ~2 inches wide. White colour. Fizzy and frothy, but thin and weak, with no creaminess. Recedes fully within 2 minutes, leaving no lacing.
BODY: Clear pale copper with yellow hues. Clean, with no visible yeast or hop sediment.
Looks pretty mediocre. Has no stand-out characteristics. Seems overcarbonated.
AROMA: Buttery diacetyl off-character, generic cheap pilsner malts, cheap barley. Hints of cereals. Maybe some corn adjunct.
Suggests a painfully simple imbalanced beer with off-putting sweetness and zero hop character.
Aromatic intensity is below average. I detect no yeast character.
TASTE: Too sweet. Has a corn-like adjuncty malt backbone. That's it.
There's no hop profile, no overt yeast, and no malts aside from the abovementioned. As simple and shallow as they come, with no nuance or subtlety at all. Imbalanced and poorly built.
TEXTURE: Smooth, wet, buttery, light-bodied, and unrefreshing due to its high sweetness and cheap artificial taste.
OVERALL: Not a gestalt beer. There's no harmony of texture to taste. Pretty unenjoyable. This will cater most to people who run around claiming they have celiac disease when they haven't actually gotten a biopsy or diagnosis. But it's drinkable, and I guess "gluten-free" has become more a marketing buzzword and/or a diet trend anyway. This won't impress the discerning drinker, but it's not as off-putting as many of the watery and/or metallic pale lagers out there. Not that I'd buy it again...
