Damm – Daura Gluten-Free Beer, 4 x 330ml

Product Information

Finally, this isn’t a really great beer to begin with, so don’t look at brewers clarex and think that all variants are bad. This particular beer doesn’t taste great, but it works in all beers and doesn’t manipulate the flavors. Technically you can get a vial of the stuff, dump it in a keg of your favorite barley-only beer, wait a week and viola, gf beer. Daura has a gluten level below 3 ppm (parts per million) analyzed using the Competitive ELISA R5 method, which is currently accepted as valid for hydrolyzed products such as beer. According to the Codex Alimentarius, a product is considered suitable for coeliacs if it has less than 20 ppm. Daura is a Pilsen-type lager beer suitable for coeliacs. In the brewing process of this beer, the gluten chain is broken, resulting in a beer suitable for coeliacs.

In 2011 Estrella Damm Daura won Three Gold medals for Best Gluten free beer. First, a Gold Medal at the World Beer Championships in Chicago, IL. Secondly the won Gold at the International Beer Challenge in London, UK. Third they won the World’s Best Gluten-free Lager Award (for the 3rd consecutive time) at the World Beer Awards, also held in London, UK. New Planet, crafted in Boulder, Colorado, was created when the founder discovered he had Celiac Disease and went on a personal quest to drink delicious beer.This is the type of light lager that you may expect from Europe. It is a beer that isn’t over-bearing, and is great for drinking at outdoor events.

The Daura Damm is marketed as a 5.4% ABV traditional lager. I’m happy to report that in bold letters on the top label, it reads “Crafted to Remove Gluten”, which is the legal requirement in the USA for all gluten reduced beers. I’m thrilled to see this beer labeled correctly, as not all imported beers are. This is a crisp, refreshing, reduced-gluten lager that discloses the gluten content of every batch." If you’re very sensitive to gluten, then be careful drinking them. But if you’re not super sensitive then just know that there could be some problems. Then again, there’s some argument that almost any light barley-only beer probably meets gluten-free standards. Daura was launched in 2006 and has since been recognised as the best gluten-free beer obtaining the most prestigious, world-renowned awards.

DAURA. THE WORLD’S MOST AWARD-WINNING CRAFTED TO REMOVE GLUTEN BEER

This is an amber-colored beer, with delicate hints of copper and orange. It’s intense notes of hops define the personality of this Mediterranean version of the classic IPA style. Aromas of ripe fruit and tropical citrus notes reinforce its freshness. Brewers Clarex is classified as a prolyl endoprotease, which basically means a “protein eating” enzyme that specifically targets the amino acid proline. The research you cite found that three peptides – each about 12 amino acids long – seem to cause many of the Celiac related problems. Scientists have previously sequenced barley hordein (for example, in this study in Biomedical and Life Sciences: http://www.springerlink.com/content/a112273645778415/) and found that proline occurs more frequently than every 12 amino acids. It then stands to reason that barley hordein “digested” by proline-seeking Brewers Clarex would yield peptides too small to cause a Celiac reaction. The flavours of toasted grains add to the beer’s personality. The mouthfeel is smooth, thanks to the fine bubbles. Daura has the flavour of “a real beer” because it is brewed with the same main ingredient: barley malt. It is a golden yellow beer, with the smell of hops and yeast. All this makes Daura a fresh and smooth. gluten-free beer.

This gluten-free lager brewed by Anheuser-Busch is the most accessible gluten free beer in the United States, due to its wide distribution network. Hopped with imported Hallertau and domestic Cascade hops, this sorghum beer has characteristics of the popular macro brews, but the company calls it a lager. Be careful drinking these. They are brewed with an industrial enzyme named Brewers Clarex. This enzyme is ridiculously cool because it actually breaks apart the gluten protein, and a lot of other proteins details.

Tasting notes

Award-winning gluten-free Glutenberg is available in 41 U.S. states. "What began with a blonde ale has developed into a gluten-free paradise of well-crafted ales."

The Damm Brewers Masters together with the Gluten Unit of the CSIC (Higher Council for Scientific Research) were pioneers in developing a beer suitable for coeliacs with all the flavor of a “real” beer. We can define Daura as the flavour of “the usual beer” since it is made with its main ingredient (barley malt), and less than 3ppm of gluten, suitable for coeliacs.Daura is a golden colour with shades of amber and slight hints of green. It is clean and sparkling. The head is cream-coloured and long lasting. Be careful that its 'Certified' gluten-free Vs "Brewed to remove gluten-free" I know the Omission beers became an issue for me.
