Green's Gluten Free Tripel Blonde Ale

Bottle re-fermented, 8.5% ALC/VOL.
I don't know if I've ever had a gluten free beer. Wait. Yes, One. Didn't feel the need to try any others since. But, here's an intriguing sample, with the added promise of NO crustaceans, celery, or peanuts!
Clear, golden color, gigantic crystalline head, leaving lace, a perfect snowy white.
Aroma: slightly acidic, sharp lemony flavors, hot, peppery spice. Very much like a triple.
Taste: Very light bodied, with a spicy, citric edge. A large spicy, citric edge, too big for it's featherweight frame. Not giving me much of what I'd like here, much too rough, could be softer, smoother, needs something to temper this raw alcoholic, hot and overly acidic flavor. It becomes nothing but lemon in the end, and that's not too pleasant, my friends.
I'm glad something like this exists for those who suffers from allergies and aversions, but I wish it would taste a lot better than this.
