hoppopotamus (182), Santa Cruz, California, USA Jan 21, 2009 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. meeple (52), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Jan 20, 2009 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. zach8270 (2051), Henrietta, New York, USA Dec 12, 2008 [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. Crit (2399), New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada Nov 21, 2008 Dark gold,small fast fading white head. Vinegar nose.Light oddly sweet profile, vinegar overtones Beardface (977), Eugene, Oregon, USA Nov 21, 2008 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. colts9016 (198), Idaho, USA Nov 21, 2008 Pour amber hue thin white line for a head.
Nose caramel malty honey molasses sorghum and wheat.
Taste carbonation thin malty hints of caramel with sorghum lacing through.
Finish nill to slightly acidic.
Overall not a very good beer. BMan1113VR (2757), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Nov 15, 2008 Bottle marked 2/12/08. Pours with a fizzy white head that goes leeaving a clear penny colored body. No lacing. Aroma of cheap malt, cheese rinds and plums. Taste is sweet with coconut, nuts and granmanier (in a very poor marriage of the three). Very sweet with soggy malts at the finish. Fizzy and dry. ChristianScheffel (4431), Odense, Denmark Oct 10, 2008 Dark golden with a small white head. Sweet grainy malt aroma, with notes of nuts and prunes. Sweet fruity flavour, with a slightly sour fruit juice-like note. Considering the other ratings, it must have been oxidized. And that may not have been a bad thing...
