Break Free Gluten-Free Non-Alc Golden Ale by Darling Brew

Break Free Gluten-Free Non-Alcoholic Golden Ale is crafted for those who want all the refreshment of a premium craft beer without the alcohol or gluten. Bright, crisp, and exceptionally easy to drink, this golden ale showcases vibrant citrus-forward hops balanced by a soft malt body and a clean, refreshing finish.

Dry-hopped for enhanced aroma, then filtered and pasteurised, Break Free delivers layers of citrus and stone fruit flavours with subtle caramel malt notes. Despite its modest bitterness, the beer offers impressive hop character thanks to its carefully balanced BU/GU ratio, proving that flavour is about much more than IBUs alone.

Gluten is reduced to less than 20ppm through an enzyme reduction process during fermentation, making it suitable for those with non-celiac gluten sensitivity while maintaining the taste and body of a true craft beer.

Inspired by the Collared Sunbird, this beer reflects the bird's brightness, agility, and vibrant energy—perfect for easy, sun-filled moments.
