Parsley, sage, rosemary, and grapefruit?!?!? This beer tasted absolutely nothing like I expected. Firstly, whether fairly or otherwise, I tend to be highly skeptical of gluten free beers. To me, they're a bit like wheelchairs, very useful and, indeed, necessary for some people, but I don't want to find myself stuck with one. Secondly, I have never had a beer that tasted so strongly of grapefruit that didn't mention it on the label. Now, in this particular instance, these two potentially disastrous characteristics were actually very nice. The highly citrus flavor worked well with the use of corn and the high ABV (6.0%) to produce a refreshing summer beer. Still, while excellent for a gluten free beer, it was not an exceptional pint according to general standards, lacking a touch of balance and needing to be served, if not ice cold, at the chilly end of the spectrum. All in all a respectable 7/10 with the hope that other Wold Top beers come my way soon.
