⌂ > Glutenberg IPA

This IPA substitutes malted barley with millet, buckwheat, and black rice to render it gluten free, and it manages to taste like an actual beer!   It pours a crystal clear, bright copper with substantial puffy off-hite head, which leaves an archipelago of lace around the glass as it evenly subsides. It smells of mildly acrid citrus pith, dank pine and leafy forest floor detritus, and a somewhat bready caramel malt.  The taste is much more variable - still heady orange and grapefruit hop bitters but with now breadier malt with some still prominent cereal and caramel notes, and a nondescript orchard fruitiness, and a further leafy mustiness. The body a surprisingly sturdy medium weight, and more or less smooth/  It finishes still fairly hoppy, those unspecified west coast big-C hops providing serious bang for the buck(wheat). 6%
