St-Ambroise Gluten-Free IPA

◎ Aussehen

Pale gold in the glass, bright and transparent. The head forms with modest density and fades to a thin collar, leaving occasional traces of lacing on the sides. Carbonation appears lively throughout.

◌ Aroma

Floral and citrus-forward on the nose, with Citra and Willamette hops delivering grapefruit zest, fresh orange, and subtle herbal notes. The gluten-free grain base—millet, corn, and rice—recedes behind the hop character, lending a clean, neutral backdrop that allows the aromatics to dominate without typical malt sweetness.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters lean and crisp, with hoppy bitterness asserting itself sharply against the thin body. Citrus and resinous notes persist through the mid-palate, while the neutral grain character keeps the experience dry and clean. At 40 IBU, the bitterness reads more prominent than in traditional malt-forward IPAs, creating a bracing, linear progression.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and slightly resinous, with lingering hop bitterness and orange zest fading gradually. The thin body and absence of malt sweetness leave a clean, hoppy aftertaste.

Gut gekühlt servieren. Session IPAs sind am besten kalt — der niedrigere Alkohol bedeutet weniger Wärme zur Balance der Hopfen.

Die geschwungene Form konzentriert Hopfenaromen und hält den Schaum. Unverzichtbar für aromatische Ales und IPAs, bei denen die Nase die halbe Erfahrung ist.
