Apr 30, 2009 Updated: May 1, 2009Pours 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.

Apr 19, 2009 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.

Mar 20, 2009 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

Mar 9, 2009 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.

Mar 8, 2009 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.

Mar 4, 2009 My first Sorgum beer but gosh am I on the fence about this one. It’s aroma was like nothing I had smelt before, but the taste was...I don’t know. Hints of cocoa butter? But incredibly sweet on the aftertaste, almost a brown sugar taste. I don’t even know where to put it.

Mar 3, 2009 pours a light amber color witha foamy white head...poor retention. aroma is very bready with a bit of citrus to it. very fruity and floral flavor...maybe some apricot? and a bit of spicy hops. finish is bready and tangy...reminds me of something that is a cross between a pale lager and a cider. if i had celiac’s i could live off of it...

Feb 9, 2009 Orange with peach colour. Peaches, mandarin, sugar cane. and (even though it contains none) rye on the nose. Peaches again, this time upon mouth entry. Caramel follows with some wild flower, black olives and a strange herb like presence of which I can’t name....perhaps its the Sorghum? Aftertaste is pleasently malty but a little bit skunky too. Crisp and refreshing on the palate. I am quite impressed by this strange brew, and becoming more and more a fan of gluten-free products!
