Estrella Galicia Sin Gluten

Tap to rate

Malt and hops sit side by side on the nose; the first sip is delicately floral with a gentle warmth, and a strong hop presence lingers long afterwards. An enzyme that splits certain protein chains, gluten among them, makes this bright golden lager gluten-free. The recipe is the same as the Especial's: Pilsen and roasted malt, Nugget and Perle Hallertau hops and the water of A Coruña.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Estrella Galicia Sin Gluten

◎ Appearance

Brilliant pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency. A fine, white head forms readily and clings persistently to the glass walls, leaving distinct lacing on each sip. Active carbonation is evident throughout, maintaining steady effervescence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a balanced interplay of clean Pilsen and roasted malts beneath a delicate floral hop character. Nugget and Perle Hallertau hops deliver soft, herbal-floral notes without aggression, while a subtle bread-like sweetness underlies the composition. The water of A Coruña contributes a mineral freshness that clarifies the overall profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and delicately poised, with modest malt sweetness and bread-like character giving way to a pronounced hop presence mid-palate. Bitterness is restrained at 25 IBU yet carries convincing weight, lingering with floral and herbal dimensions rather than sharp resin. The mouthfeel remains crisp and clean despite the strong hop component, never becoming overwhelming or fatiguing.

◑ Finish

Hops persist long into the aftertaste with a dry, slightly herbal character that invites the next sip. The finish remains refreshing and unburdened, with no residual harshness or sweetness.
