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/).

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.

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...

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!

A brown beer with minimal head. The smell is fairly disgusting. Skunky, sickly sweet, perhaps a tad of caramel malt, but just gross. I think it might have gone skunky, but there is nothing at all redeeming. The taste is slightly less terrible, some spicy hops jump out from more of the same aforementioned atrocities against zymurgy as the aroma contains. I have a friend who is allergic to gluten, and that must suck. But it cannot suck nearly as much as drinking this horrible crap.

Bottle. Pours deep orange, minimal head. Nose has sweet fruit smell. A little biscuitty, slightly sour, cidery. Slightly slick mouthfeel. Can’t get over the fruit juice smell the more I drink. Not as bad as I’d feared, and not offensive if you don’t mind the sweet fruit taste, but not worth buying as more than a novelty.

[bottle - 12 oz] Golden pour with a fizzy white head. Aroma is sweet with some good hints of caramel, nuts, and some molasses. Flavor is sweet at the beginning but disappears quickly to a light and crisp middle with some hints of apple skins and a very lightly bitter finish. Aftertaste is some sorghum and a bit dry. My first gluten-free beer. Rather interesting.

Golden pour with a big but not entirely pleasant nose of malts and some nutty essence. Far too sweet and unbalanced but a truly awesome name somewhat makes up for it.
