Commercial Description:
This Golden Sorghum Lager will appeal to beer drinkers who prefer the lighter taste of lagers produced by the major brewers, such as Anheuser-Busch, Coors, Miller, and Heineken. This ale has a light crisp taste to meet the thirst quenching requirements of the lager style while still having enough body to interest the ale drinker during the spring and summer seasons. This beer has low bitterness and a subtle but pleasant hop aroma that will gently caress the senses.

Note: contract brewed for Bard’s Tale Beer (<A HREF=http://www.bardsbeer.com/ TARGET=blank>http://www.bardsbeer.com/).

On the pour, the beer sets in the glass a sunlit clear gold with the head a two finger frothy white that remains longer than I expected, lace a concealing sheet. Nose has a fruit like sweetness from the buckwheat with a mushroom like musky tone, not bad, just a tad different. Start has a sweet earthy presence; slight bite at the back, top is light to medium in its feel. Finish has a durable acidity, sweet and long lasting slightly bitter aftertaste, not bad, just a little out of the ordinary.

Smells spicy. Pours a crystal clear amber with no head. This is the second sorghum beer i’ve tasted and its the last. The taste is awful. Reminds me of a dirty sock or something.

Poured a deep amber with a fading off-white head. The sorghum gives a gentle spiciness. It hinted off nutmeg to me. This was a bit skunky. I actually liked the New Grist better.

Bottle. Golden color with a very weak head. The sorghum is so overpowering, and tatses too much like glue. It’s sweet and smooth. Not what I like in a beer, the sorghum is interesting, and the title is cool that’s about it.

Bottle: Yellow gold, light white head, light lacing. Nose of light dust and hops, some odd grainy notes. The flavor is ok, somewhat toasty and moldy, but distinctly not barley. The finish is spicy. Meh.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. BTDG pours brass with a very quickly disappearing head. It smells faintly of vinegar. It has a sweet cottony taste that really doesn’t settle well. The finish is like grease. It’s like when you’ve eaten too many of those fried potato sticks that come in a can. This beer can be wrapped up mostly with "Yuck".
