I always laugh at inexperienced gf beer drinkers who complain that gf beers don't taste like a traditional beer.
Firstly, gf beers as everyone here understands are made of entirely different grains. Do they complain when their chicken doesn't taste like steak?
Second, when speaking in terms of history, gf alcoholic beverages including beer have been produced long before wheat beers and we could make the argument that a traditional beer cannot be segregated to wheat based beers.
I am a long time gf beer appreciator and first time homebrewer. I recently made a blonde(isn't) ale from an Irish Red kit that I converted to gluten free. Aside from poor head retention ( which I think is attributed to uneven carbonation ) the beer tastes amazing. Its aromatic, a little rough around the edges which I like, and I prefer it over most commercial brews, except Greens! So it can be done and done well. I welcome anyone to post success and failure stories on this thread
