Ambar Especial Sin Gluten

Spain·Pale Lager
Tap to rate

Ambar Especial Sin Gluten is the gluten-free version of the house lager. Antonio Fumanal developed it in 2008 with the Aragonese Coeliac Association after three years of research. The challenge was to keep both the golden colour and the combination of sweet and bitter flavours when the gluten is broken down, and flavour, aroma and bitterness follow the traditional beer.

◌ Aroma

Clean, grainy malt foundation with subtle sweet grain notes and a whisper of bready character. Noble hop presence adds gentle herbal and floral undertones without asserting dominance.

◐ Taste

Sweet malt enters on the palate with a balanced counterpoint of moderate bitterness arriving mid-drink. The combination creates a deliberate interplay rather than dominance by either pole. Smooth drinking character persists through to the swallow, with crisp edges and a light body that avoids heaviness despite the dual sweet-bitter profile.
