GrandMasterSexay (26), Minnesota, USA May 3, 2007 I didn’t know what to expect out of a sorghum beer, but i loved the video game the name is based off of so i had to try it. It tastes a little like coffee or molasses, but goes down VERY smooth. IrishBoy (2686), Bakersfield, California, USA Apr 30, 2007 12 oz bottle from Shigadeyo! First sorghum beer I’ve had and gluten-free so I wanted to try it! nose of very light sweet grain; lighthly hazy gold with a very small white head; flavor was different than any beer I’ve had, sweet different maltiness with a tart turn at the end, and a tiny hop finish, but not much. Different and it sure doesn’t taste like a pale lager! Burrobuns (80), Columbia, Missouri, USA Apr 29, 2007 Wow, this was bad. Poured light yellow with no real head. Smelled like piss. Tasted like rotting grass. Couldnt finish a bottle. Dorwart (1807), Robbinsville, New Jersey, USA Apr 21, 2007 Thin fizzy head. Reduces quickly. Soda bubble carbonation. Bright golden orange in color. Vanilla, ginger and sweet malys inthe aroma. A touch of honey also. Very appealing aroma. Thin watery flavor. Light malts and a bit of sournes. Minimal vanilla. Little bit of grains and some honey. Finish is clean and slightly dry. Nothing special. shrubber85 (2833), Wallhalben, Germany Apr 21, 2007 Bottle. Sour ccrn syrup (sorghum) malt aroma. Golden yellow with minimal head. Strong sorghum and grassy malt flavor - for those who don’t know what sorghum tastes like, it’s like bitter molasses. I’m not sure if the moderate bitterness of this beer is due to the sorghum or hops or both. This is a real love/hate beer. I happen to like the sorghum flavor in this beer, but it will probably turn many people off. DrnkMcDermott (1832), Downers Grove, Illinois, USA Apr 11, 2007 12 oz. bottle. I’m being kind, since this is the only choice for some people who couldn’t have any beer otherwise. Smell is oddly grainy. Not malty, of course. Light amber color, fizzes briefly, then no head. Taste starts out sweet, a little too highly carbonated. Dries out as I go further. Some snatches of fruit and Malto Goya. Even a bit chewy like grass seed. My first sorghum beer, so I don’t have much to compare it to. jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Apr 11, 2007 12 oz bottle-pours a foamy white head and gold color. Aroma is funky vegetal, some malt. Taste is medium malt-some sweetness, vegetal, apple cider, faint hops. OK carbonation. benclarkiii (73), Raleigh, North Carolina, USA Apr 2, 2007 Poured with a nice amber color but with little to no head. Some carbonation. Flavor was suspect. Aftertaste was that of paper?? Maybe it is in my head. I read on the label it is made from sorghum so it could be in my head.
