TWØBAYS

This Gluten Free Amber Ale presents a vibrant sensory profile driven by specialty alternative grains like millet and buckwheat. The pour reveals a deep copper hue with a delicate off-white foam. On the nose, one finds a distinctive toasted nuttiness characteristic of the alternative grain bill, complemented by subtle caramel notes and a touch of floral hops. The palate follows with a clean, bready foundation and a mild, earthy sweetness that balances a gentle hop bitterness. The finish is surprisingly crisp for an Amber Ale, showcasing a medium-light body and an effervescent carbonation that highlights the unique, gluten-free malts without the heaviness of traditional barley.

Appearance. Deep amber to copper (12–16 SRM). Clear to slightly hazy with a fine-beaded, off-white head that shows moderate retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity. Dominant notes of toasted grain and roasted nuts from the alternative malts, backed by a light caramel sweetness. Low floral and citrus hop character. Clean fermentation profile with minimal esters.

Taste. Initial impression is of toasted bread and nutty millet. Mid-palate introduces a light caramel sweetness. Hop flavor is low to moderate, leaning towards earthy and citrus. Bitterness is moderate, providing balance against the malt. The finish is dry and clean with a lingering grainy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body, slightly thinner than a traditional barley-based ale. Moderate to high carbonation provides a crisp, lively texture. Negligible alcohol warmth and no astringency.
