Glütiny Golden Ale is brewed using an enzyme to break down the proteins that trigger a reaction from gluten sensitive drinkers. Therefore, these beers are being referred to as “gluten removed” instead of gluten free. The beers fall within the FDA guidelines of less than 20 parts per million.

New Belgium Glütiny Golden Ale is brewed with Nugget, Goldings, and Cascade hops.

12 oz. bottle poured into nonic.

A- Golden straw with great clarity. Head is meringue-like, a bit frothy. White. Specks of lacing are left from the strong head.

S- Grassy and lightly toasted malt. Hops of light citrus, and some floral notes.

T- Flavor fairly bland. Light toasty grain, with a faint earthy/floral hop.

M- Body light. Carbonation hardly noticeable. Finish is a bit crisp.

O- Pretty bland, though I think this is better than the other gluten free alternatives.

i have to confess that this one sat around in the fridge for awhile, so i may not be reviewing the optimal specimen, truth be told i rarely reach for a gluten free beer when just about anything else is in the house. in any event, this is way better than it probably should be, not just another gluten reduced beer im still a little wary of this enzyme and process), but actually something worth drinking because it really does taste like beer. so many of these lack any real malt character, but this has a nice rich bready honey grain complexion that i quite like. the yeast tastes a little tired to me, which might be my bad, and the only hops are a very mild bittering at the end. its flavorful and sessionable at the same time though, which is about all we can ask if something like this. its probably not 100% free of gluten, so this may be more for the trend followers and fad dieters than those actually sick, but its a huge step in the right direction for this category, and for me preferable to their pale ale in this line. good effort for what it is, i could happily drink a few of these, gluten sensitivity or not.

12oz bottle with a "drink by" date

Another food product jumps on the gluten-free craze. If gluten actually affects any person in a substantial way, I'll eat my shoe. Gimmicks aside, this is an OK beer. Typical NB yeast flavors of chewy sweet bread ( think fat tire) but muted slightly. Little hop bite, just some grass, pear and apple.

Very inoffensive and, for lack of a better word, boring

New Belgium Brewing Co. "Glütiny Golden Ale"
12 fl. oz. brown glass bottle, "ENJOY BY: ... 15OCT17..." and sampled on 07AUG17
$2 @ Weis, Conshohocken, PA

Look: Clear deep gold body beneath a pillowy head of bright white that exhibits very good head retention and lacing.
Smell: Grainy, cereal-like malt with some light floral, leafy, and citrusy hops.
Taste: The malt appears bready and lightly toasty, but also slightly cereal-like, and the hops remain floral, leafy, and lightly citrusy. Some apple-like fruitiness from the yeast gives it a little more complexity. A moderate bitterness balances it and it's sweetish upfront but dries enough in the finish.
Feel: Light-medium in body and gently crisp then smooth across the palate.
Overall: Gluten intolerant or not, Glütiny Golden Ale is a pleasant and highly drinkable beer that can be enjoyed year 'round in all kinds of situations. One of the better reduced-gluten beers on the market.

L: brilliant straw gold under a 1/2' off white cap that descends moderately fast to a thick film

S: light grain, biscuit and spicy, herbal hop aromas rise from the glass

T: rich and malty with mildly sweet malt, some caramel notes, light fruit - pear to apple, and some mild hop spice

F: light body with creamy, soft and medium to medium high carbonation

O: The beer combines an almost lager-like crispness and light body with a light ale flavor profile

The beer pours out into a Duvel glass a clear dark golden color with a 1/2" white head that recedes leaving a ring of foam. Sipping creates small patches and legs of lacing. By mid way through the beer the foam has receded to a thin film on the surface but the ring and lacing persist reasonably well.

The aromas are citrus with mostly grapefruit and lemon zest. There's also some nice bready malt and a light touch of grassy hops.

The flavors pretty much follow the nose with the grapefruit and lemon zest prominent but backed up by some sweetness and bready malt flavors. The grassy hop bitterness remans in the background

The mouth feel is medium bodied and lightly crisp from the moderate carbonation. The medium length finish begins as the sweetness fades to be followed by the bready malt and then the grapefruit and lemon zest. All that is left behind is the dry grassy bitterness which slowly disappears.

On the whole a nicely made beer that I'd not turn down in the future. While not the best Golden Ale I've had it is certainly worth drinking. Also I'd have no reservations about suggesting it as a possible choice for someone with a Gluten intolerance if they can have a Gluten reduced beer at all.

L: Crystal clear. Bright golden in color with a good amount of bubbles streaming to the top. It poured with very little head, but what was there was white and creamy.

S: Smells mostly grainy. Some pale malts in the aroma as well. Not much else. Very small hop presence. A little bit of a cereal smell the longer I looked.

T: Not a whole lot going on here. Mostly grains. Some breadiness and creaminess, too.

F: Creamy, silky, buttery. Semi-funky at the finish. No alcohol present whatsoever.

O: Not very impressive, but I wasn't expecting much. At least it's over 5% ABV. Not much in the way of hops or additional flavors. Tastes like a gluten-free beer would taste.
