Random thoughts: I'm tasting this as part of my series on gluten-free beer. Widmer's Omission gluten-free beers are made with a proprietary process that removes the gluten during the brewing process. I originally tasted both Omission beers as part of a launch event in April.

Rating: 3 star. Good. I would drink this again if someone give it to me. First and foremost, this tastes like a "normal" beer. That's actually a huge accomplishment! It doesn't have the weird off-putting flavor present in most sorghum-based beers. I could easily see myself drinking this again. Since I'm not celiac, I wouldn't actively seek it out, though. However, it's a fine Pale Ale that stands up well to it's gluten-based brethren.
Rating (if I was Celiac): 4 star. Really Good! I want this again! If I was celiac, I'd literally be stockpiling this beer in preparation for the zombie apocalypse or some other unforeseen event. If subjected to nothing but regular gluten-free beer, this would seem like a gift from heaven. Have you tasted Omission Pale Ale? What's your favorite gluten-free beer?
