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/).

Appearance: Pours a clear, orange-gold body crowned with a small ring of white bubbles. Smell: Candyish aroma accompanied by the stink of sorghum. Of all the sorghum beers I’ve punished myself with, this one’s aroma has been the least offensive. Taste: A sugary, candyish sweetness can’t quite mask that noxious, repellent sorghum taste. I’m tapping out, I cannot finish this. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Mild carbonation. Drinkability: Ugh, I just can’t do the sorghum.

Pours a light golden with a large frothy white head. The head rapidly diminished. Taste is slightly coffee bitter with a nice balance of caramel, roasted malt and sorghum. I thought the label was tacky so I was surprised what a great beer this is. Yes, I know, Don’t rate a beer by its cover.

Pours a transparent copper amber with a thin, spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of sweet cane sugar and light fruity esters. Starts thin and sugary sweet with a hint of earthy bitterness toward a drier semi-sweet finish. An interesting brew, but nothing that I’d really want to drink much of.

Bottle poured a clear amber with a small diminishing amber head. Aromas of carmel and light vinegar like aroma ( possibly sorghum?). Palate was lioght bodied and crisp. Flavors of carmel, straw and a light hint of fruitiness with a crisp ligfhtly bitter finish.

Shocker, this beer gets a poor review from ratebeer. This is only the second grain-free beer I’ve tried and I’d like to tell you its terrible but I can’t. It your basic light lager with a bit of sweetness and it’s still better than Bud,MIller, or Coors. Don’t let the geeky fantasy game name throw it, it’s not bad.

Clear orange bodied with a heavy honey nose. Reminds me a lot of honey flavored cough syrup with some grains mixed in.

Gold color pour with no head. Interesting taste to say the least. Almost like a Non Alcoholic beer. Not terrible but if I needed to drink gluten free beer, this would be ok.

This was just awful, like sucking down sugar water. I took one drink and dumped it out. Sweet Sweet Sweet that’s all i got.
