Glutenfri Jul

Tap to rate

Glutenfri Jul is a gluten-free dark ale with the right attitude for getting into the Christmas spirit. Roasted and caramelised malt lays the foundation for a slightly spicy, citrussy hop profile. Opal, Saphir, Hallertauer Mittelfrüher and Simcoe are the hops, and the brewery serves it with Christmas meals.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Glutenfri Jul

◎ Appearance

Deep mahogany brown with a warm, translucent quality when held to light. A modest off-white head forms and fades to a thin collar, leaving delicate lacing on the glass. The body carries gentle carbonation visible as a slow stream of fine bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with toasted and caramelised malt, offering notes of bread crust and subtle nuttiness. Behind this foundation, citrus zest emerges from the hop blend—particularly bright notes of lemon and orange—layered with gentle spice and a whisper of resinous character from Simcoe.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and malty, with roasted grain and caramel sweetness establishing the core. Mid-palate develops a pleasant citrusy hop character balanced by low to moderate bitterness (24 IBU), while toasted and nutty undertones round out the body. The spice from the hops surfaces gently without dominating the gluten-free malt structure.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length, fading gradually with lingering notes of toasted malt and subtle citrus. A dry, clean aftertaste without harshness or astringency.
