Bards Tale Dragons Gold

Brewed by Gordon Biersch Brewing Company
Style: Specialty Grain
Palo Alto, California USA

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.

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.

Bottle, 6 fl. oz. Pours a very clear beer with a fizzy white head. The aroma is prune and caramel. The flavor is spicy with a little acidity. The palate is thin. Overall this beer is average.

Pours a two finger white head that fades instantly leaving no lace. Crystal clear amber color. Fizzy carbonation and light-medium bodied. Corn/grainy nose. Flavor is sweet corn and some caramel. Squeaky clean finish. $2.05 for a 12oz bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, MA. A different beer from what I rated in Oct 2007, different flavor, different head, bottles look different but the beer marketing company says it is the same beer being contract brewed in Utica, NY.

Pours a four-finger white head that fades quickly to a thin layer leaving a little lace. Clear amber color. Chocolate floral nose. Light carbonation and light-medium bodied. Flavor is semi-sweet bubblegum, liquid chocolate finish. Not bitter just different. 12oz bottle $2.95 from Kappy’s Fresh Pond Jamaica Plain, MA.

Bottle. Gold with light white head. Malty sugary scent (sugar cane?). Thin at first. Long bitter finish and aftertaste. Malty beer-like. A certain golden ale quality. Hint of toffee. One of the better Soughum products I have tasted.

12 oz bottle pours golden with a monsterous dirty white head that laces pretty well and makes it almost impossible to pour. Aroma is of light hops. A bit of grass, some citrus and some floral notes. Flavor is lemony, hoppy, and some notes of light malt behind. In no way does this compare to budweiser. It is actually a pretty nice summertime micro. I think this was a little better than I expected it to be. Quite light on the palate and easy to drink

Savannah, Ga. - Habersham Beverage Warehouse - 12 oz bottle. Medium copper pour, barely there tight white head. Aroma of butterscotch. Flavor has some of the same butterscotch notes with some ripening vegetable funkiness and a touch of molasses. Reminds me somewhat of malta. Somewhat sticky, but lifeless mouthfeel. Better than most sorghum beers - but glad I do not have to resort to these for medicinal reasons.

12 oz. Clear amber with a small disc of bubbles. Aroma is butterscotch hard-candy. Flavor starts similarly, but has a slight metallic twang that gives it an apple cider-like flavor. Some wood and cardboard on the finish become more noticeable deeper into the glass. Light-medium body is fizzy and tingly.
