Gusswerk Glutenfrei Lager

Tap to rate

Honey, sour-fresh grain notes and roasted hazelnuts in the nose; a medium-full body with mild carbonation, then a restrained, quite dry finish with pleasant sharpness and noticeable hop bitterness. Brewed with rice and corn alongside the malts and Salzburg spring water, this naturally cloudy lager is the one the brewery developed as Austria's first organic gluten-free beer.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Gusswerk Glutenfrei Lager

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with natural cloudiness from suspension, creating a soft, diffuse appearance. The head forms moderately and settles to a thin collar with delicate lacing. Mild carbonation produces fine, slow-rising bubbles characteristic of a traditionally brewed lager.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and rounded, with a medium-full body that carries malt sweetness and hazelnut notes across the palate. Mid-palate develops a pleasant drying sensation as mild bitterness emerges from the Edelhopfen addition. The rice and corn adjuncts contribute crisp clarity without heaviness, allowing the malt character to remain distinct.
