Gluten Free T

Tap to rate

A citrusy, hoppy aroma leads to a sweet, malty flavour and a smooth, medium-bodied finish. This is Tennent’s gluten-free lager, and it took Bronze in the gluten-free class at the 2024 International Brewing Awards. It also became the starting point for Tennent’s Light, whose new recipe was built entirely at Wellpark on this beer.

About Pale Lager

What is a Pale Lager?
