Jun 28, 2009 12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Glen Allen, VA. Utica label. Pours an amber color with a thin head. Fair head retention and lacing. Aroma is sugary caramel with some earthy, gummy notes. Taste is very similar.... sugar and caramel with some light honey. Very sweet but not cloying. Thin bodied and watery. Not too unpleasant.

Jun 26, 2009 Bottled as Bard’s Gold from Bard’s Tale Beer Co., Utica NY. Sky blue double B label. The RB listing was very difficult to find, but this must be it.
Weak honey aroma. Dark gold color, clear, no head. Honey and light wood flavor. Woody lemon grass finish. Great for a gluten free brew. It’s comforting to know that if I ever develop an allergy to wheat or gluten, I’ll still be able to enjoy a good beer.

Jun 25, 2009 Clear amber pour, not much head. Not much aroma. Pleasant on the palate, but flavor is muddled and tends toward the sour...it is what it is...

Jun 8, 2009 Bottled as ’Bard’s’, still a sorghum beer. Ok, this one also contract brewed, though is distributed through Norwalk and brewed and bottled in Utica. Grainy, lightly malty nose with some apparent artificial sweetener. Dark golden body, still clear, with a sudsy off-beige head. Crisp smack, medium body, malty with some grass and dull-around-the-edges citrus. Some caramel in with the oxidized cardboard and the sweet after. It’s not terrible, sort of a skunked pale lager.

May 31, 2009 pours a clear amber with a thin white head, and some lacing.
smell is faint, malt, some spice, caramel, and roasted nuts.
taste of malt, caramel, slightly metallic, and a funky aftertaste.
Earlier Rating: 1/16/2008 Total Score: 1.6
pour is a clear dark yellow with little to no head.
smell is strange, artificial buttered popcorn, french toast.
taste is also strange, very buttery, very sweet, thin mouth-feel.
overall i don’t really care for this, not good, course now that i see that it is gordon biersch i understand why.

May 28, 2009 Pours light amber with a white head. Aroma is bready, metallic, and sweet. Flavor is sweet then metallic with that same odd finish that all of these sorghum beers seem to possess.

May 19, 2009 Shit i keep buying bottles of this sorghum stuff thinking its a real beer. Pours a scotch amber body with a with head. Chewy tawny caramel aroma, and a hint of alcohol aroma not bad!!! Dull metallic, rice wine, and cardboard flavor dammit this one sucks, aroma could have fooled me.
